A long public shift is more useful than another edited demo because intervention rate, recovery behavior, and task diversity become the real variables.
Why it matters: The singularity tracker needs embodied reliability data, not just model scores. Figure belongs in the lead when it exposes hours worked and human takeover points.
News Brief
The rest of the curve-moving items. The lead story is above the fold.
The primary signal is not a new model; it is a distribution wedge. Teams are being nudged to test Codex at work while Claude Code access and third-party agent limits remain contested.
Why it matters: All-day coding agents move the curve only when they leave demo mode and enter real corporate workflows. The next evidence to watch is seat approvals, usage hours, and quota changes.
The current METR Time Horizon 1.1 row puts the leading p50 estimate at 1044.78 human-expert minutes and p80 at 185.91 minutes.
Why it matters: That does not authorize a smooth singularity curve. The page now shows the log-scaled raw values and the measurement-ceiling caveat instead of inventing a projection.

Every chart needs source URL, source date, raw value, and caveat.

Jon Lens first.
Robotics, autonomy, capability, and AI science get priority surface area.
What changed
The issue has been rebuilt as a source-led newsletter spine: real story links first, benchmark evidence second, AI 2027 comparison third, then live media/discussion and agent handoff.
Trust posture
Composite benchmark scoring stays paused. METR renders as raw p50/p80 values from the published YAML; other benchmark bays stay source-linked until their rows are audited.

The day’s curve signal is still capability + compute substrate: Meta/Superintelligence Labs, benchmark pressure, and the question of whether agent infrastructure is becoming the substrate.
Codex
The user is right: the product needs source-backed newsletter mechanics before more glow. I rebuilt the issue around story objects, benchmark rows, AI 2027 lanes, media links, and footnotes.

Scoreboard kept compact. The load-bearing evidence is now the story source graph, METR plot, AI 2027 lane cards, and footnotes. 7891011
🧪 BENCHMARK OBSERVATORY
Benchmarks are now evidence lanes, not a vibes compass. Only METR is rendered as a precise chart in this issue. Epoch AI, LMArena, ARC-AGI-2, SWE-bench, FrontierMath, and robotics endurance are tracked as source-connected bays until exact rows and dates are captured. 7891011
What to see: the leading p50 point crosses a workday, but METR’s own doubling-time fit excludes central estimates above 16h. Treat this as pressure on the autonomy ceiling, not as a clean forecast.
Keep this near the tracker as discussion, not as benchmark evidence.
