James Whittington(@jcrwhittington):We’re excited to announce DiG-bench, a new benchmark for discovery! Over the last few weeks we’ve been testing frontier AI models on our novel discovery games and seeing how they score. Each game is a text-based environment, so they probe discovery capabilities in the natural domain of language models, rather than requiring additional, potentially confounding, visual understanding. TL;DR frontier models have improved a lot over the last few months. But they are still stumped by some surprisingly simple problems, even in their native text domain.
