Study: AI Auditors Catch Most Agent Misbehavior But Flood Reviewers With False Alarms
A study by an Anthropic researcher finds that GPT-5 can detect about 98% of AI agent reward-hacking cases. However, increasing sensitivity leads to a high volume of false alarms, meaning current methods are not yet reliable enough for safety checks.

Val benchmark shows open-source DeepSeek V4.1 cyber capabilities close to closed GPT-6
The Vals AI benchmark revealed that OpenAI's GPT-6 Sol Daybreak achieves 80.8% of attack objectives in simulated corporate networks, while the open-weight DeepSeek V4.1 Flash reaches 72.8% at a fraction of the cost. Analysts warn that the window for defenders to counter AI cyber threats is shrinking as open models cannot be restricted.
