Insights, analysis, and updates from Scale Labs
MultiChallenge Update: A More Reliable Multi-Turn Benchmark
We’ve updated the MultiChallenge benchmark to improve evaluation reliability and reduce subjectivity, and re-evaluated frontier models under the new setup.
Voice Showdown: An In-the-Wild Preference Arena for Voice AI
Voice Showdown is the first large-scale preference arena for voice AI, ranking models through blind comparisons embedded in real user conversations across 60+ languages.
Agentic Rubrics: Teaching AI to Verify Code the Way Developers Do
Agentic Rubrics is a method for verifying AI-generated code fixes. An agent explores the repo, writes a checklist for what a correct patch should do, and uses that rubric to score candidate fixes.
VeRO: Can AI Agents Build Better AI Agents?
VeRO benchmarks whether coding agents can improve other AI agents by modifying their prompts, tools, and control logic. Across 105 optimization runs, results show modest gains on tool-use tasks but persistent limits in exploration, cross-model generalization, and deeper architectural changes.
