Claude Science's full-sky ultraviolet map still needed an astronomer to spot a glow artifact

Anthropic's Claude Science helped Brice Menard build the first complete ultraviolet sky map, modeling roughly a third no UV telescope has observed. Agents ran the days-long pipeline, but the Johns Hopkins astrophysicist caught an artifact two agent reviews missed, runtimewire reported.

A Berkeley scanning agent scores 100% on five AI agent benchmarks without solving a task

Berkeley's RDI center attacked the step where each benchmark computes its score, and without solving a task its own scorecard reports 100% on five of the eight, about 98% on GAIA and 73% on OSWorld.

Cached prefixes push 91% of a ReAct agent's LLM time into decode

An arXiv tracing study of Claude Code agents on Gemma and Qwen measured prefix-cache hit rates between 84.6 and 99.5 percent, which moves the serving bottleneck to how long you can keep KV blocks resident between tool calls.

Harness-Bench makes the scaffold a measured variable, and model-only scores lose meaning

A new diagnostic benchmark treats the execution layer as something to vary rather than a fixed backdrop. Its conclusion is that agent capability belongs to a model-harness pair.
