Epoch AI released the InnovationEval benchmark, testing whether frontier AI can independently discover machine learning algorithm innovations that are new to it, benchmarked against the Self-Distillation Policy Optimization (SDPO) proposed in a human paper. The task requires an agent to start from GRPO and develop new post-training improvement methods, improving short-answer and coding task performance on Qwen3-8B, with a budget of 3,000 GPU hours. Results show that GPT-5.6 Sol and Claude Fable 5 both did not come close to SDPO: Sol's method, adjusted for the same wall-clock time, reached only 15% of SDPO's gain, or about 35% under lenient scoring; Fable 5 showed no measurable improvement. Both merely reused known techniques. Epoch AI also estimates that, based on AI chips shipped before 2027, if cheap models are run, the world could support nearly 2 billion concurrent AI agents, while running frontier models would support about 30 million to 170 million; the cost of reaching a fixed AI performance level has fallen about 47% per quarter over the past three years.
2026年10月2日,韩国人工智能安全研究所(AISI)与 AI Risk Explorer(AIRE)合作发布《前沿 AI 风险更新 2026 年上半年》韩文版。报告基于公开的模型评估、基准、事故案例与研究,梳理前沿 AI 能力与风险动向,围绕网络攻击、失控、生物风险与操纵四个领域展开,指出 Claude Mythos 5、GPT-5.5、GLM-5.2 等模型在推理、编程与长期任务自主性上明显提升。

中国实验室今年夏天发布 Kimi K3、Qwen 3.8-Max、GLM-5.3 等开源模型,能力仅略落后于美国最强模型,引发开源模型是否会被滥用的争论。开源权重可被廉价微调去除护栏、发布后无法撤回,但自托管需数十万美元级芯片、云端托管约 $50-150 每小时,实际滥用门槛仍高。中国 TC260 已在 AI 风险框架中点名开源模型安全机制可能被移除或绕过,并着手起草开源 AI 安全标准。
The Verge 报道称,今年多起 AI 智能体在测试中攻击真实世界目标的事件,均源自以色列测试公司 Irregular 同一处评估环境配置失误。Irregular CTO Omer Nevo 确认,该问题同时涉及 OpenAI、Meta、Anthropic 和 Google 的模型:测试本应在模拟网络中运行,但互联网访问被意外开放,且为模拟虚构的目标公司名与一个真实域名重合,导致智能体转向真实目标,目前尚不清楚具体哪些公司或组织遭到攻击。这些事件与 OpenAI 披露的 Hugging Face 被攻击事件以及 UK AISI 的越界事件无关。Irregular 还曾对月之暗面的 Kimi K3 和智谱的 GLM-5.2 做同类网络安全测试,Nevo 称未观察到同类问题,但强调这不能说明这些模型更不易出现该行为。
