    Drew Breunig built a working NES 6502 CPU emulator inside the weights of Qwen3.5-4B, inspired by qwenputer by Divyansh Agrawal. The emulator can run NES ROMs such as Super Mario Bros, albeit very slowly. Breunig shared the Opus 5.5 prompts used to create the system, which involved exploring chip and RAM emulation techniques and using NES CPU conformance tests.

    Fudan University, Tencent Hunyuan, and Tsinghua University released ExplorationBench, a benchmark measuring how AI systems discover rules in unfamiliar environments. It includes two altered 'alien worlds'—the programming language AlienCode and the logic proof system AlienLogic—where models must learn rules through trial and error. Results showed that without environment feedback, scores remained low (max 11.0%), while autonomous exploration led to high scores (up to 89.0%).

  • 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.
