UCLA and Adobe open-source Tev-27B long-horizon agent model, matching GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus 5 on ALE-CM
Researchers from UCLA and Adobe Research released a paper and open-sourced Tev-27B, a long-horizon agent model trained on their new Tev-Gym benchmark with dense, verifiable, progressive rewards via progress potential reward shaping (PPRS). On the Agents' Last Exam computation and mathematics subset (ALE-CM), Tev-27B achieves Pass@5 of 0.28, matching GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus 5; the same recipe applied to Tev-320B makes it the strongest open-source model on Terminal-Bench 4.0's computation and mathematics subset.
