🚀New Paper arxiv.org/abs/2606.28551 Everyone obsesses over VLM architectures & training recipes. But what about the data? Presenting the latest work in the DataComp-series: a testbed for VLM data curation with 1,000+ controlled experiments and some surprising lessons 👀 🧵👇

Honored to have Terminal-Bench-Science included in Slingshots // THREE, alongside such a strong lineup of researchers and projects. Building a benchmark to evaluate AI agents on computational workflows across the natural sciences — authored and verified by real domain experts. Grateful for the incredible support from @LaudeInstitute & @bradenjhancock, and to all our contributors making this happen. ⚛️🧪 Check out the current progress on our brand-new task submission dashboard: stevendillmann.github.io/tb-science-tas…

Very excited to release the next project in the DataComp / OpenThoughts line of research! Like OpenThoughts we worked on post-training data, this time with a focus on agentic models.
Richard Zhuang@RichardZ412

How can we train small agentic models that are highly capable of terminal use and coding? Announcing OpenThoughts-Agent + OpenThinkerAgent-32B, the strongest Qwen-3 based open-data agentic model: 44.8% avg across 7 agentic benchmarks! (1/n)

Introducing Terminal-Bench Challenges! A new capability has emerged at the frontier: agents completing large-scale projects autonomously. To test this capability, we felt another flavor of benchmark was needed. Terminal-Bench Challenges are long-horizon, token-intensive, single-task benchmarks. Today we are releasing our first 3 challenges.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

Excited to welcome Andrej to the Pretraining team! He'll be building a team focused on using Claude to accelerate pretraining research itself. I can’t think of anyone better suited to do it — looking forward to what we build together!

How much of SQLite, FFmpeg, PHP compiler can LMs code from scratch? Given just an executable and no starter code or internet access. Introducing ProgramBench: 200 rigorous, whole-repo generation tasks where models design, build, and ship a working program end to end. 🧵

Announcing Talkie: a new, open-weight historical LLM! We trained and finetuned a 13B model on a newly-curated dataset of only pre-1930 data. Try it below! with @AlecRad and @status_effects 🧵

New work with @AlecRad and @DavidDuvenaud: Have you ever dreamed of talking to someone from the past? Introducing talkie, a 13B model trained only on pre-1931 text. Vintage models should help us to understand how LMs generalize (e.g., can we teach talkie to code?). Thread:

Releasing the official SkyRL + Harbor integration: a standardized way to train terminal-use agents with RL. From the creators of Terminal-Bench, Harbor is a widely adopted framework for evaluating terminal-use agents on any task expressible as a Dockerfile + instruction + test script. This integration extends it: the same tasks you evaluate on, you can now RL-train on. Blog: novasky-ai.notion.site/skyrl-harbor 🧵

Terminal-Bench is a leading benchmark for agents. Unfortunately it’s hard: most small coding agents get very low scores on TB2, so training/system ablations look flat - you can't tell what's working. Announcing OpenThoughts-TBLite - 100 curated TB2-style tasks, difficulty-calibrated so even 8B models can make progress. It's designed to give researchers measurable signal during development, providing faster feedback for experimental iteration while closely tracking true TB2 performance🧵

The Terminal-Bench paper is here! Read it to learn where frontier models still fail and the secrets of how we sourced hundreds of high quality environments from our open source community. 🧵

Building TerminalBench agents in the open is hard. We're making it much easier. OpenThoughts-Agent is our first milestone in open-data pipelines for building agents. We're the best model of our size on TerminalBench 2.0. We're pushing both SFT and RL pipelines for building agents. I'm so excited to see where this project goes! Check it out!

How can we make a better TerminalBench agent? Today, we are announcing the OpenThoughts-Agent project. OpenThoughts-Agent v1 is the first TerminalBench agent trained on fully open curated SFT and RL environments. OpenThinker-Agent-v1 is the strongest model of its size on TerminalBench, and sets a new bar on our newly released OpenThoughts-TB-Dev benchmark. (1/n)
