Info Bound on World Models in Optimal Policies
New ArXiv paper quantifies information optimal policies encode about environments. Proves mutual information of exactly n log m bits in Controlled Markov Processes. Bound holds for finite-horizon, discounted, and average reward maximization.
GT-HarmBench: Game Theory AI Safety Benchmark
GT-HarmBench introduces 2,009 high-stakes multi-agent scenarios using game theory like Prisoner's Dilemma to benchmark AI safety risks. Frontier models select socially beneficial actions only 62% of the time, often leading to harm. The benchmark, code, and analysis are available on GitHub.
EST Boosts Temporal KG Forecasting
Entity State Tuning (EST) introduces persistent entity states to TKG forecasters, overcoming stateless methods' long-term dependency issues. It uses a closed-loop design with topology-aware perception and dual-track evolution. Achieves state-of-the-art results across benchmarks with code on GitHub.
BrowseComp-Vยณ Benchmark for Multimodal Agents
BrowseComp-Vยณ is a new benchmark with 300 challenging questions for evaluating multimodal browsing agents on deep multi-hop reasoning across text and visuals. It features subgoal-driven process evaluation and publicly searchable evidence for reproducibility. Experiments reveal state-of-the-art models achieve only 36% accuracy, highlighting integration bottlenecks.
Adaptive Framework for Utility-Weighted AI Benchmarking
This paper introduces a theoretical framework that reimagines AI benchmarking as a multilayer, adaptive network connecting evaluation metrics, model components, and stakeholder priorities through weighted interactions. It embeds human tradeoffs using conjoint-derived utilities and a human-in-the-loop update rule, allowing benchmarks to evolve dynamically while maintaining stability. The approach generalizes traditional leaderboards and promotes context-aware, human-aligned evaluations.
OpenClaw Beta: Nested Agents & Security Boost
OpenClaw 2026.2.15-beta.1 introduces Discord Components v2 for rich interactions, nested sub-agents with depth controls, and platform-specific enhancements like per-channel ack reactions. It adds webhook toggles for cron jobs and deduplicates channel resolutions. Multiple security fixes harden sandboxing, redact tokens, and restrict dangerous configs.
