Episode 1 · Artificial Analysis Launches AA-Robotics Benchmark; GPT-6 Astra Tops Ranking (2026-10-15, 3 posts)

Artificial Analysis released AA-Robotics v0.1, the first benchmark testing LLMs on real robot-arm tasks; GPT-6 Astra ranked first, though even the best model remains roughly 100 times slower than humans.

Episode 2 · Robot-arm test finds most LLMs don't know when to stop (2026-11-04, 2 posts)

An Artificial Analysis robot-arm test showed Claude Opus 5.5 kept pushing uselessly for 22 minutes after finishing its task, with only GPT-6.1 Sol and Gemini 4 Argon stopping within a minute of completion—showing 'knowing when to stop' remains hard for LLMs.
