DeepSeek-V4: Towards Highly Efficient Million-Token Context Intelligence
arXiv
A preview report on the DeepSeek-V4 series, describing a 1.6-trillion-parameter Pro model and a 284-billion-parameter Flash model, both with one-million-token context, plus the attention, connection and optimization changes that make that length affordable.

GLM-5: from Vibe Coding to Agentic Engineering
arXiv
Zhipu's GLM-5 report describes a 744-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model built on sparse attention and asynchronous reinforcement learning, aimed at moving AI-assisted programming from vibe coding toward agentic engineering.

Terminal-Bench: Benchmarking Agents on Hard, Realistic Tasks in Command Line Interfaces
arXiv
Terminal-Bench 2.0 is a curated benchmark of 89 hard tasks carried out in computer terminal environments, built to measure how well AI agents handle realistic command-line work; frontier models and agents score below 65% on it.

Kimi K2: Open Agentic Intelligence
arXiv
Kimi K2 is Moonshot AI's trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts model, pre-trained with the MuonClip optimizer and post-trained on large-scale agentic data plus reinforcement learning; the report reports state-of-the-art results among open-source non-thinking models and releases base and post-trained checkpoints.

Gemini 2.5: Pushing the Frontier with Advanced Reasoning, Multimodality, Long Context, and Next Generation Agentic Capabilities
arXiv
The Gemini 2.5 technical report, submitted to arXiv on 7 July 2025, documents Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro and 2.5 Flash models: their reasoning, long-context video handling, and cost-versus-capability positioning.

DeepSeek-V3 Technical Report
arXiv
A technical report from DeepSeek-AI on DeepSeek-V3, a mixture-of-experts language model with 671 billion total parameters, describing its architecture, training pipeline, and evaluations, including a full training run of 2.788 million H800 GPU hours.

The Llama 3 Herd of Models
arXiv
Meta's 2024 paper describing Llama 3 as a family of foundation models — 8B, 70B and 405B parameters — trained on about 15 trillion tokens and reported to match leading models such as GPT-4 across a wide range of tasks.

τ-bench: A Benchmark for Tool-Agent-User Interaction in Real-World Domains
arXiv
τ-bench is a benchmark, submitted to arXiv in June 2024, that tests language agents in dynamic conversations with a simulated user, with domain-specific API tools and policy rules, and scores them by database state rather than by the text of their replies.
- 2024
OSWorld: Benchmarking Multimodal Agents for Open-Ended Tasks in Real Computer Environments
arXiv
OSWorld is a benchmark and environment for testing multimodal agents on 369 real computer tasks in Ubuntu, Windows and macOS; humans complete over 72.36% of the tasks, while the best model reaches only 12.24%.
- 2024
LiveCodeBench: Holistic and Contamination Free Evaluation of Large Language Models for Code
arXiv
A benchmark for code LLMs that keeps collecting fresh contest problems from LeetCode, AtCoder and CodeForces, so that scores reflect ability rather than memorised test data, and that also tests code repair and execution reasoning.
- 2024
Gemini 1.5: Unlocking multimodal understanding across millions of tokens of context
arXiv
A report from Google's Gemini Team introducing the Gemini 1.5 family, multimodal models built around very long context, with Gemini 1.5 Pro recalling information across up to 10 million tokens.[^1]

GAIA: a benchmark for General AI Assistants
arXiv
GAIA is a benchmark of real-world questions that are easy for humans but hard for AI assistants, testing reasoning, multimodality, web browsing, and tool use. It compares AI progress against average human performance.
- 2023
SWE-bench: Can Language Models Resolve Real-World GitHub Issues?
arXiv
A benchmark of 2,294 real software engineering problems taken from GitHub issues and the pull requests that resolved them, in which a model must edit a codebase to fix an issue; on release the best model solved under 2% of them.
- 2023
WebArena: A Realistic Web Environment for Building Autonomous Agents
arXiv
WebArena is a reproducible environment of four fully functional websites — e-commerce, a social forum, collaborative software development and content management — built for testing language-guided web agents. Its best GPT-4 agent completed 14.41% of tasks; humans completed 78.24%.[^1]

Toolformer: Language Models Can Teach Themselves to Use Tools
arXiv
A 2023 paper by Schick, Dwivedi-Yu, Dessì and co-authors showing that a language model can teach itself when to call a calculator, search engine, Q&A system, translation system or calendar, and how to use the results.
- 2022
ReAct: Synergizing Reasoning and Acting in Language Models
arXiv
ReAct is a prompting method that has a language model interleave written reasoning with calls to outside tools or environments, improving question answering, fact verification and interactive decision-making.
- 2022
Training Compute-Optimal Large Language Models (Chinchilla)
NeurIPS
A DeepMind study showing that, for a fixed computing budget, language models should be trained on far more data than was then standard; its 70-billion-parameter Chinchilla beat larger contemporaries.

Program Synthesis with Large Language Models (MBPP)
arXiv
A 2021 arXiv paper by Austin, Odena, Nye and eight other authors that introduced MBPP, a benchmark of 974 short Python programming tasks, and measured how language models from 244M to 137B parameters turn natural-language descriptions into working code.

Evaluating Large Language Models Trained on Code (Codex / HumanEval)
arXiv
A 2021 paper from OpenAI introduces Codex, a GPT model fine-tuned on public GitHub code, and HumanEval, an evaluation set that judges generated Python programs by whether they work rather than by how closely they match a reference.
