On both sides of the test
Enterprise usage that is heaviest among the youngest workers, a skill that works better for the model it was not built for, and an automated researcher that closed the safety gap it was pointed at.
How we Organise
What 17 million enterprise messages say about who is using the machine
Across more than 1,500 firms and 17 million enterprise messages, the machine turns up in every job function and at every level. Use is heaviest among the youngest workers.
We tell a client that where the first rungs of a job have gone, somebody has to write down how a person climbs anyway. That assumes you can pick out which jobs those are. On this evidence you cannot, and a rule firing on nearly every job does the work of one firing on none. Heavy use by juniors is not the same as their work being taken.
How we Build
A skill evolved by one model, working better on another
Skills evolved by one model transferred to others, sometimes beating what a model had built for itself. A 9B model carrying them reached 47.4 per cent where a 27B model without them reached 39.4.
Our position is that anything one team builds should be reachable by the rest, and the argument has always been duplicated effort. Something stronger sits underneath. Work built elsewhere was sometimes better, so its worth is not tied to where it came from. That held for skills capturing a general procedure and failed for those encoding a workaround.
How we Assure
An automated researcher closed the safety gap, once it was stopped from cheating
Set to close alignment failures on its own, the loop shut 82 per cent of the safety gap on deception. Six experienced researchers under the same rules managed 20. It needed two hard constraints and a monitor reading every method before it ran.
We judge a family of agents on everything it does rather than on any single act. Read one way the result supports that. The constraints are what argue with it, because we ask whether such a measure exists and never who is optimising against it. A number a machine can attack 150 times is a different object from one a team reports quarterly.
