New era loaded.

[Dennis K Cinelli @DennisKCinelli]

Are AI agents replacing jobs? Not so fast. We launched a new benchmark that is evaluating AI models against real world tasks.

[Scale AI @scale_AI]

We’re launching the Remote Labor Index (RLI) with @cais, the first benchmark evaluating whether AI agents can independently complete full, paid freelance tasks.

The results provide a needed reality check: automation is advancing, but still has a long way to go. RLI offers a clear view of what AI can do today, and what that means for the workforce tomorrow.

Another new launch. Introducing SEAL Showdown. A leaderboard that is built from real world use by our global contributor base. 140k users and 10M+ prompts and counting.

[Jason Droege @jdroege]

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.

[Dennis K Cinelli @DennisKCinelli]

We just launched @scale_AI new Agentic leaderboards that will test agents in real world environments. Great work by our Research teams to set a new standard for frontier models.

[Scale AI @scale_AI]

Introducing our Agentic Leaderboards.

These new leaderboards test AI agents in real-world, high-complexity environments, setting a new standard for completing end-to-end digital tasks.

.@scale_AI hosted our Gov AI Summit today in DC.

Senator Warner (Chairman of Senate Intel Committee):

“One of the questions I’d have is… [would] it be in the national security interest of our country to [merge] OpenAI/Microsoft, Anthropic/Google, maybe throw in Amazon.”

“We didn’t have 3 Manhattan Projects, we had 1.”

“If you asked me right now, I wouldn’t do it, but it’s important that we have the conversation.”
