RealtimeBench exposes timing failures in LLM agents: correct actions arriving too late still fail
Agents deployed in live environments—trading, ops, robotics—face a latency-correctness tradeoff current evals ignore. Operators must benchmark wall-clock timing, not just accuracy, before production deployment.
→ arXiv cs.AINew paper confronts benchmark saturation: what replaces leaderboards when top models all score perfectly
Safety cases and frontier policy increasingly rely on benchmarks that no longer differentiate models. AI safety teams and regulators need new eval frameworks now—this paper proposes concrete approaches to fill that gap.
→ arXiv cs.AIGoodfire agents empirically challenge polysemanticity, claim neurons are functionally clean
If polysemanticity is overstated, core assumptions in mechanistic interpretability and alignment tooling need revision. Researchers building sparse autoencoders or feature-based safety tools should audit their foundational premises now.
