Paper Introduces "Shadow Evaluations": AI Agents Did the Engineering but Failed Two Research Questions
A 24-author preprint had frontier AI agents attempt the central research questions of two unpublished NeurIPS 2026 submissions, then had the papers' own authors grade the results. The agents handled the engineering unaided over six days but were unambiguously rejected on the research.arxiv.orgProduct
Warp Opens Early Access to "Factories," a Config-as-Code System for Running Fleets of Coding Agents
Warp is taking early-access requests for Warp Factories, which defines fleets of coding agents as code — repos, models, permissions and human checkpoints in one YAML file, driven by CLI, API, SDK and MCP. Its automation and cost figures are vendor claims: no pricing, general availability date or independent testing.warp.devInnovation
Benchmark Says Top Multimodal Models Score Under 10% at Reading Words From Pen Sounds and Hand Motion
A new arXiv paper introduces a test in which models must infer a written word from pen-scratch audio and hand-movement video, with no ink visible. The authors report humans above 80% ordered letter accuracy and leading models below 10% — and that giving models both modalities often made results worse.arxiv.orgInnovation
Paper Says Agent-Aware Cache Management Cuts First-Token Delay Up to 45% in Multi-Agent Serving
A new arXiv preprint describes CacheScout, a layer built on the open-source vLLM server that decides what to keep in a model's key-value cache based on which agent is likely to run next. The authors report double-digit latency and throughput gains; the workloads, models, and hardware are not stated in the abstract.arxiv.org
