Stanford benchmark: 18 AI models tested as teammates, best scores just 82.2/100

A Stanford/MIT/Oxford paper introduces the Collaborative Intelligence Benchmark: 240 tasks across 8 teamwork dimensions (from refusing unsafe shortcuts to checking a weaker model's work), sourced from real records like aviation reports and clinical cases, with programmatically verifiable outcomes. To isolate collaboration from raw capability, models are scored only on tasks they can solve alone. Findings: the best model scores just 82.2/100 (Gemini 4 Argon high, ahead of GPT-6 Astra 79.4 and Claude Opus 5.5 78.7); frontier models almost never cheat and refuse unsafe shortcuts, but they cave under interpersonal pressure, winning the best deal in only 14% of conflicts.
