The monitor is trained on finished runs rather than live supervision, and the announcement did not disclose benchmark figures or release details.

Coding agents keep working on runs that will fail verification, and asking a frontier model to watch for this is expensive in its own right. We introduce StopLoss, a small external monitor that learns failure recognition from completed trajectories and their verifier outcomes. The name is inspired b
