A quick plug for something we’re doing at OmniRush. We’re hosting the Frontier Buildathon 2026. If you’ve been wanting to try Astra, or have an idea you keep putting off, come build with us. It doesn’t have to be your next startup. A useful little tool, an agent, a research experiment, something that fixes a problem you’re tired of dealing with. Just get it working. Each participant gets 10M free Astra tokens, worth roughly $300, plus access to all GPT-6 models through OmniRush. There’s also a $300 prize pool for the top two projects and Best Use of OmniRush. It’s fully online and solo. Projects need to be open source, and you keep full ownership of what you build. Register by 19 October, 11:59 PM IST. Submit by 20 October, 11:59 PM IST. Would love to see some familiar faces join. We’ve sorted the compute; choosing which of your 14 unfinished ideas to build is still on you.

AutomationBench Verified is out. We went through all 600 public tasks in @Zapier's AutomationBench and checked every verifier. • Agents flagged 323 verifiers as suspicious, human review confirmed 206 real bugs, all 206 are fixed. • We replayed 1,235 Kimi K3 runs on the old and fixed verifiers and 344 of them (27.9%) got a different grade • Where verifiers were too strict, pass rate went from 18.8% to 43.8% • Where they were too lenient, it dropped from 60.2% to 49.7% Audit and dataset links below.
