• AI Benchmarks

OpenAI says the programming benchmark SWE-bench Verified has lost much of its value as a reliable measure of coding ability. The company cites two main reasons.

Anthropic says it has uncovered large-scale model distillation attacks by Chinese AI labs DeepSeek, Moonshot, and MiniMax targeting Claude. In distillation, a weaker model is trained on the outputs of a stronger one. According to Anthropic, more than 24,000 fake accounts generated over 16 million requests, focusing on Claude’s strengths such as reasoning, coding, and tool use. The company also alleges that the labs used proxy services to bypass China-related access restrictions.

Nvidia’s AI research team has introduced DreamDojo, an open-source world model designed for robotics. The system takes motor control commands as input and generates simulated future states as images, without relying on a traditional 3D engine or manually defined physics. Nvidia Director of AI Jim Fan describes the approach as “Simulation 2.0.”
