MindTopo reveals VLMs' spatial reasoning abilities
Read original source →microsoft.com
Microsoft Research's MindTopo benchmarks whether multimodal models grasp 3D topology — connectivity, enclosure, order, separation, and knots — across static recognition and interactive planning tasks. Current models perform much better on static images than interactive tasks, with failures emerging during planning as models lose track of structural relationships in changing scenes.

Claude Opus 4.6 (February 2026) produced a C# console game, level editor and Raylib version in two days, but the prince hopped tile-by-tile instead of using hand-drawn animation frames.

Prime Intellect's Elie Bakouch races Claude Code and Codex on Optimizer Speedrun
Elie Bakouch, research engineer at Prime Intellect and creator of Hugging Face's SmolLM, ran Claude Code and Codex against the community's Optimizer Speedrun, a race to train a GPT-2-level model. He argues big labs claim recursive self-improvement is coming without an independent benchmark to check it.
