We're releasing HLE-Diamond: a refined version of Humanity's Last Exam, built with @CAIS. A year of review and community feedback went into refining this subset to make it more reliable for measuring frontier models. Top model tested 60.6% overall. We expect HLE-Diamond to carry signal for the next 6-12 months.

there is one (1) major firm that’s friendly with the gov + F500 and has done embedded eval consulting for years and has a real track record of ai safety expertise but is now largely divested from commercial conflicts with the leading labs why is nobody talking about scale ai

📣Call for contributions + co-authorship! RSI Bench is our ongoing effort to evaluate whether AI agents can develop the capabilities required to advance AI R&D. Got a frontier AI research problem on your mind? Submit it to RSI Bench, and set the standard the whole industry uses to measure progress! Contributors receive: → Co-authorship on the RSI Bench research paper → $2,000 per accepted task for the initial 50 tasks → Modal compute credits to build + iterate → Access to the RSI Bench research community Register below for full requirements.
Launching rsi-benchmark.com: The work of AI R&D has always belonged to humans. For the first time, though, it no longer seems certain that it always will. Recursive self-improvement is within a line of sight. It may still be far, but it is close enough that we should start measuring it.

Welcome @fdesouza to @scale_AI as CEO! I started Scale a decade ago at 19, and it has grown to be the backbone of the AI world, powering frontier labs, Fortune 500 companies, and the US Government. Francis is an exceptional leader and the right steward. After spending a lot of time together, I have no doubts he’ll take Scale to greater heights. Thank you @jdroege for your leadership as interim CEO 🙏
Big News: I’m joining @scale_AI as CEO, starting August 10. Scale sits at a rare intersection, working with the top AI labs to push the frontier while helping enterprises and governments actually deploy AI they can verify and trust. I’m excited to lead a company with a mission to develop reliable AI systems for the most important decisions. More to come.

This is where I think the market has @scale_AI wrong. People still see us as a "data company". We are so much more! We're the eval and reward layer behind most of the frontier labs. We're the ones who work out what "good" even means for a model. That's exactly what enterprises need now, except it has to run inside their own walls!

My first vibe coded project is live: brand.scale.com/ I always wanted to build a brand guide with some quality-of-life features that were accessible to partners/vendors/rank and file at the company. Hopefully this leads to fewer DMs asking where the logo files are. 😅

To understand our story, you have to go back to the beginning. It started with self-driving cars. Ten years later, it's the architecture underneath AI that actually works, across frontier labs, enterprises, governments, and mission-critical systems around the world.

When Alexandr Wang left the company he founded almost a year ago, most figured the startup was as good as dead. Under new CEO Jason Droege, Scale says its sales have rebounded and it expects to top $1 billion in revenue this year. Read more: forbes.com/sites/richardniev… Photo: Ian Tuttle for Scale AI

We’re introducing SEAL Showdown, the AI leaderboard that actually captures real preferences, powered by a platform used by real people. Public benchmarks today rely on contrived tasks or narrow user groups. That leaves us guessing which models are actually preferred by people. SEAL Showdown changes that. Model performance can now be segmented by demographics and domains. Rankings aren’t just a single global average, they can be broken down by region, profession, education level, age and more, giving a nuanced view of how models work for different people. SEAL Showdown sets a new bar, because AI should be judged by how well it works for everyone.
