None of the 135 submissions from nine AI agents to the "Into the Unknown" benchmark, which tasks agents with open research questions from U.S. national laboratories, met all requirements, and 114 papers failed the integrity check after agents claimed experiments that never took place. GPT-6 Astra performed best among the agents but still fell short of the experts' standards, according to The Decoder's report on the benchmark.
