A investigation uncovered an AI tool used by a major insurer that denied more than 300,000 claims in two months. The denials were generated in minutes — faster than any human reviewer could read a single file. Most patients never appealed. They assumed the algorithm knew something their doctor did no

We’ve observed agents discovering progressively more complex tool use while playing a simple game of hide-and-seek. Through training in our new simulated hide-and-seek environment, agents build a series of six distinct strategies and counterstrategies, some of which we did not know our environment supported. The self-supervised emergent complexity in this simple environment further suggests that multi-agent co-adaptation may one day produce extremely complex and intelligent behavior.

We trained models to think in simpler, more traceable steps—so we can better understand how they work.

Frontier reasoning models exploit loopholes when given the chance. We show we can detect exploits using an LLM to monitor their chains-of-thought. Penalizing their “bad thoughts” doesn’t stop the majority of misbehavior—it makes them hide their intent.
