Introducing ALE-Bench, ALE-Agent! Towards Automating Long-Horizon Algorithm Engineering for Hard Optimization Problems Blog: Paper: ALE-Bench is a coding benchmark primarily focused on hard optimization (NP-hard) problems. We developed this benchmark with AtCoder Inc., a leading coding contest platform company. What makes ALE-Bench unique is its focus on hard optimization problems that demand long-horizon and creative reasoning. It’s open-ended, in the sense that true optima are out of reach (NP-hard) and scores can continuously improve. We believe this benchmark has the potential to become one of the key benchmarks for reasoning and coding in the next generation. ALE-Agent is our end-to-end agent that we specifically designed for this challenging domain. In fact, our ALE-Agent has already built an impressive track record in the wild! In May 2025, our agent participated in a live AtCoder Heuristic Competition (AHC), alongside 1,000 other participants in real-time. AHC is considered to be one of the most challenging coding competitions in this domain. Our ALE-Agent achieved an impressive ranking of 21st out of 1,000 human participants in the competition (top 2%), marking a turning point for AI discovery of solutions to hard optimization problems with a wide spectrum of important real world applications such as logistics, routing, packing, factory production planning, power-grid balancing. We look forward to applying this technology to real industrial optimization opportunities. Building on the insights from this study, Sakana AI will continue to tackle the challenge of developing AI with even greater algorithm engineering capabilities. ALE-Bench Dataset: ALE-Bench Code: This research was conducted in collaboration with AtCoder Inc. (AtCoder). We are deeply grateful for their outstanding expertise and contributions in optimization and algorithms, which were invaluable in providing data, analyzing results, and enabling our AI agent’s participation in their contests.

🤖Coding agents like Claude Code are already game changers for digital tasks in 2026. But what if they could write code to build physical worlds? 🏙️ Imagine going from a single line of prompt → a controllable, interactive simulated world. Such environments could open new frontiers for game creation, RL training, large-scale world simulation, and studying complex social reasoning. Our SimWorld agent coding team is working toward releasing a platform that lets anyone build their own virtual worlds. Stay tuned.

.Polymath is training world generation models to automate the creation of RL environments. Traditionally, RL environment generation has been bottlenecked by human data. Superintelligence will never be achieved by human data alone. Polymath is building the core technology to enable automated environment generation using far less human effort than traditionally required, and eventually none. This allows for more complex and realistic worlds, and higher quality, scale, and diversity of tasks. This will be essential to unlock RL scaling. The end goal is to create large-scale, long-horizon environments from a text description alone. This will enable the creation of worlds of arbitrary complexity and scale, which is foundational for training & evaluating autonomous, superintelligent AI agents. Congrats on the launch, Dylan Ma and Naren Yenuganti!

$Everyone's sleeping on MiniMax. Again. They just shipped M3. The first open-weights model to combine frontier coding, 1M context, and native multimodality in one drop. I plugged it into Claude Code this morning. Pasted a design from Dribbble. Watched M3 write production-ready React code in one session. At the agency, I just replaced Opus 4.8 with M3 for 80% of our coding tasks. The output is the same and we are running everything at a fraction of the cost. Open infrastructure is the future.$

🆕 Marc Andreessen’s 2026 AI Thesis: Agents, Open Source, and Why This Time Is Different Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 of a16z says AI people keep swinging between utopian and apocalyptic for one simple reason: this field has been “almost here” for 80 years. But now, the breakthroughs are no longer theoretical. Reasoning, coding, agents, and self-improvement are all starting to work at once. This episode goes deep on AI winters, OpenAI + OpenClaw, infrastructure overbuild risk, proof-of-human, why software may soon be written mostly for bots, and why the real bottleneck may be society adopting AI rather than the models improving.

🔥 JUST IN: Open-source robotics dataset from 100% real-world scenarios! 🤯 Chinese robotics company AGIBOT just released AGIBOT WORLD 2026, an open-source dataset systematically covering key embodied AI research directions. Built entirely from real-world environments: commercial spaces, and homes. Collected using AGIBOT G2 robots in free-form collection mode, providing structured, accurately annotated, high-quality data. Digital twin technology creates 1:1 scale replicas in simulation matching the real environments. Both real-world and simulation data are open-sourced. The AGIBOT G2 platform collects multiple data types simultaneously: RGB(D) cameras, tactile sensors, force sensors, LiDAR, IMU, and full-body joint states. Whole-body control coordinates arms, waist, and hands for complex tasks. First-person teleoperation lets operators control the robot from its perspective. The tasks covered are fine-grained manipulation, ultra-long-horizon tasks, spatial navigation, dual-arm coordination, and multi-agent/human-robot collaboration. The dataset includes error-recovery trajectories with annotations. Most datasets only show successful demonstrations. AGIBOT includes failures and how the robot recovers, teaching models how to handle mistakes. After collection, data is tested through policy training and real-robot deployment to ensure quality. Then processed through industrial quality control with multiple screening and cleaning rounds. Making it open-source accelerates embodied AI research by giving researchers access to high-quality real-world robot data at scale. 🇨🇳 Learn more here: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Dario Amodei just revealed that the AI training bottleneck everyone is worried about doesn’t exist anymore. The industry spent years obsessed with scraping the open web. More data. More text. More human output to feed the models. Amodei: “I don’t think data is quite the most central thing anymore.” The shift is fundamental. Amodei: “Static data is becoming less important. A lot of the data we use today is RL environments that we train on. Dynamic data that the model creates itself.” Not scraped. Not licensed. Not written by humans. Generated by the model through pure trial and error. When you train on complex math or agentic coding, you don’t feed it a textbook. You give it an environment. The model experiments. Fails. Adjusts. Tries again. Amodei: “You’re getting some math problems and the model experiments with trying the math problems.” It generates its own experience. Millions of iterations. Each one building on the last. No human required. This destroys the entire narrative around AI hitting a data wall. You cannot throttle a competitor by locking down copyright. Cannot slow the race by putting up a paywall. When a model learns through its own synthetic experience, the open web becomes irrelevant. The only true bottleneck left is compute. And this is where the geopolitical stakes become impossible to overstate. The nation that wins the compute race doesn’t just build smarter models. It builds models that generate their own intelligence, compounding on themselves, iterating past every limit human knowledge ever imposed. We are no longer training AI on the past. We are letting it simulate the future. The machine has stopped reading the dictionary. It’s doing the math itself now.

Tries again. Amodei: “You’re getting some math problems and the model experiments with trying the math problems.” It generates its own experience. Millions of iterations. Each one building on the last. No human required. This destroys the entire narrative around AI hitting a data wall. You cannot throttle a competitor by locking down copyright. Cannot slow the race by putting up a paywall. When a model learns through its own synthetic experience, the open web becomes irrelevant. The only true bottleneck left is compute. And this is where the geopolitical stakes become impossible to overstate. The nation that wins the compute race doesn’t just build smarter models. It builds models that generate their own intelligence, compounding on themselves, iterating past every limit human knowledge ever imposed. We are no longer training AI on the past. We are letting it simulate the future. The machine has stopped reading the dictionary. It’s doing the math itself now.

Smart Turn v2: open source, native audio turn detection in 14 languages. New checkpoint of the open source, open data, open training code, semantic VAD model on Hugging Face, fal, and Pipecat AI. - 3x faster inference (12ms on an L40) - 14 languages (13 more than v1, which was english-only) - New synthetic data set `chirp_3_all` with ~163k audio samples - 99% accuracy on held out `human_5_all` test data Good turn detection is critical for voice agents. This model "understands" both semantic and audio patterns, and mitigates the voice AI trade-off between unwanted turn latency vs the agent interrupting people before they are finished speaking. Training scripts for both Modal and local training are in the repo. We want to make it as easy as possible to contribute to or customize this model! Here's a demo running the smart-turn model with default settings, aimed at generally hitting 400ms total turn detection time. You can tune things to be faster, too. You can help by contributing data, doing architecture expermints, or cleaning open source data! Keep reading ...
