- benchmark — A standard public test set for comparing AI models — the shared scoreboards behind every "model X beats model Y" claim.
- multi-agent — Using several AI agents on one problem — splitting work in parallel, checking each other, or filling different roles like planner and reviewer.
A researcher who trains models argues enterprises should own their intelligence and discusses why frontier models fail at real work, where benchmarks mislead, and why sandboxes matter for RL.
