The project aims to test whether AI models can handle sustained, multi-step reasoning, addressing a gap in current evaluation methods.", "body_md": "Bench-bench v0.2 · public run\n\nHow much can an AI model bench press?\n\nI keep hearing labs talk about training, lift, and moving weights, but can their models even\nlift*? Bench-bench is my attempt to test that.\n\n* bro", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-bench-bench-long-horizon-planning-measured-in-bench-press", "canonical_source": "https://bench-bench.xyz/bench-bench-report.html", "published_at": "2026-08-18 15:30:11+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-18 15:41:16.848055+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-research", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Bench-bench"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-bench-bench-long-horizon-planning-measured-in-bench-press", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-bench-bench-long-horizon-planning-measured-in-bench-press.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-bench-bench-long-horizon-planning-measured-in-bench-press.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-bench-bench-long-horizon-planning-measured-in-bench-press.jsonld"}}
