arXiv:2609.04159v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly proposed as autonomous SOC analysts, but two limitations make them unreliable at enterprise scale: a finite context window cannot hold a multi-thousand-host authentication graph, and free-form generation offers no guarantee that a recommended containment acti

arXiv:2605.28025v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Existing safety evaluations for large language models overlook whether responses preserve comparable medical information across different user phrasings of the same question. To address this, we introduce the Medical Information Response Audit (MIRA), a bilingual, controlled benchmark that assesses whether

OpenAI has released GPT-6 Astra, its most capable model yet. President Greg Brockman says it marks the start of the "AGI era." Astra tops benchmarks in math, coding, and cybersecurity and is the first model OpenAI rates as "critical" under its safety framework. During testing, it independently found two previously unknown zero-day vulnerabilities. The articl

arXiv:2609.03526v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal language models achieve near-ceiling scores on food recognition benchmarks, yet it remains unclear whether this success reflects genuine cultural understanding or mere visual matching. To probe this distinction, we introduce CulturalMenuBench, a benchmark of 4,870 items in 10 languages across 18 regi

OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra on September 3, 2026, positioning it as a computer-use flagship rather than a chat model. It reports 72.6% on OSWorld V2-Offline, replaces Codex compaction with searchable notes, and ships a 1.05M-token context at $10/$50 per million tokens. It is also the first OpenAI model to cross the Critical cybersecurity threshold, which sha
