SVC and CEO Bench will evolve into irl

Honestly, that's why I found CEO Bench interesting. Imagine AI doing (not simulating) entrepreneurship. Iterating amid cost constraints until successful. Will pbly happen one day. One hell of an experiment.

“With bio, the risk is a little bit asymmetric.”

“If somebody comes up with a crazy virus, imagine something like Covid with a high viral coefficient in terms of how quickly it spreads with a high K factor, & maybe it is much more fatal than Covid was.”

“You saw how hard it was to come up with vaccine production quickly. Deployment happens in the real world. We are limited by a lot of real world factors.”
“There is more risk in terms of how quickly we will be able to combat these.”

Our CEO @Jonsid shares his thoughts with @MollySOShea on AI’s bio risk and says it's scarier than cybersecurity risks because the downside could be catastrophic & we’d have no defense against it:

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. We want to remind staffing agencies and sourcing platforms to stay vigilant against individuals falsely claiming to represent Turing.

If you are contacted by an individual or company claiming to represent Turing and asked to make a payment to onboard your company as a Turing partner, stay alert.

Turing never asks companies to pay a fee to become authorized partners. We select partners based on their capabilities and performance, and @Turingcom pays authorized partners for their sourcing and recruiting services, not the other way around.

If someone claiming to represent Turing asks your company for payment to be onboarded into our partner program, do not make a payment.

Stay vigilant.

BREAKING: A new interview with @MollySOShea
and our CEO @Jonsid.

They discuss how AI training is moving beyond benchmarks into simulated environments built for real work, as agents move from completing tasks to operating autonomously for days, & eventually weeks, months & years and break down what this shift means for frontier labs, enterprises & the AI stack:

› Frontier AI vs. sovereign AI
› Distillation & the shrinking model gap
› Why enterprises are moving to open models
› What AI safety & alignment teams actually do
› Reward hacking & why “if the model can figure out a way to cheat & get the reward, it will”
› Super Intelligence, recursive self-improvement & slow takeoff

Watch the entire interview below.

Molly O’Shea@MollySOShea · Oct 2

BREAKING: The future of AI isn't open vs. closed.

We need a TON of both.

Turing CEO on why frontier AI & open-weight models are increasingly serving different parts of the AI stack.

“There's absolutely a place in the world for Ferraris & Koenigseggs. But there's also a place in the world for Model Ys.”

Frontier models continue pushing the limits of intelligence. Jonathan's point isn't that one replaces the other. We need frontier AI to keep advancing capabilities & open models to diffuse those capabilities across the economy.

BTW "Only 2% of US households pay for AI" It's still early.

At the same time, AI training is moving beyond benchmarks into simulated environments built for real work, as agents move from completing tasks to operating autonomously for days, & eventually weeks, months & years.

New research from Turing, in collaboration with Oracle: PLSQLBench, a benchmark for evaluating whether LLMs can write executable PL/SQL programs.

Most benchmarks test general code generation or text-to-SQL. But real database work isn't a one-shot query, it's stored procedures, cursors, exception handling, and iterating against a live schema.

That entire layer has gone basically untested. Until now.

Introducing PLSQLBench: the first benchmark built for procedural database programming.

-2,865 instances
-2,594 single-turn tasks + 271 multi-turn conversations (978 turns)

Built on enterprise-style Spider 2 databases, schema-grounded Spider tasks, and MBPP-derived procedural problems.

It measures what developers actually do: write procedures, handle exceptions, ground work in real schemas, and refine iteratively.

If we want LLMs that ship real database code, we have to evaluate them on real database work.

Testing eight LLMs surfaced recurring weaknesses in schema grounding, PL/SQL dialect fidelity, procedural control flow, exception handling, and consistency across turns. Tool-augmented agents closed some of the gap on schema-grounded tasks, but meaningful gaps remain.

The paper has been accepted to EMNLP industry track 2026 in Budapest.

Paper + Code below.

Our Turing Frontier Research Lab recently released CyberStrike, a real-world cybersecurity benchmark.

A long-horizon benchmark evaluating frontier agents across the cybersecurity lifecycle, from vulnerability exploitation and secure remediation to threat detection and incident reconstruction.

Results across 3,600 trials: GPT-5.6 Sol (xhigh) led at a 31.5% mean per-task pass rate, but many high-scoring near misses failed binary grading. Seventy-two of 200 tasks were unsolved.

CyberStrike has 200 expert-authored tasks: 120 defensive, 68 offensive, and 12 DFIR.

Of 3,600 recorded trials, 3,106 were graded; the remaining 494 were reported safety refusals.

On the atlas-records-export-offensive task, GPT-5.6 Sol reported: "The submitted proof replayed successfully: all 14 HTTP steps returned 200." The verifier found no protected artifact. No configuration solved the task; four declared success, and two refused.

At the Turing Frontier Research Lab, we continue building benchmarks, training sets, and training recipes that push frontier models forward in the domains where real capability matters.

SciCode++ is here, with ~6,000 tasks that test how well frontier models solve scientific problems through code.

SciCode introduced executable scientific coding problems. SciCode-Verified showed how often flawed specifications and tests can distort the results. SciCode++ turns those lessons into a production process: domain experts write the tasks, independent reviewers check them, executable tests validate every subproblem, and model runs calibrate difficulty. That helps separate model capability gaps from eval issues.

Early results post-training Qwen 3.5 9B on 4,000 of the 6,000 tasks: +10.3% on SciCode and +9.1% on SciCode-Verified relative to baseline.

Last week, the Turing Frontier Research Lab launched KernelQuest, a benchmark that tests whether AI agents can perform the full job of GPU kernel optimization.

KernelQuest contains 100 engineer-authored Triton tasks across 21 kernel families. Each task gives an agent a live environment where it can profile a PyTorch workload, write and revise kernels, and measure performance. The tasks range from single operators and fused workloads to complete models and large Transformer/MoE workloads.
