Receipts

  1. Refutes developer.nvidia.com: They are not results on the semi-private or fully private competition sets.
  2. Refutes developer.nvidia.com: This should not be interpreted as a controlled ablation: the two systems differ in agent backend, observation representation, memory, context management
  3. Refutes eneralabs.com: The private-set benchmark, which withholds environments not available in the public set, remains unsolved.
  4. Refutes cryptobriefing.com: Without private set results, the 100% score is impressive but incomplete as a measure of general reasoning ability.
  5. Context cryptobriefing.com: AVO exists as a research demonstration for now, not a product you can buy or integrate.
