🚨This week's new entry on balrogai.com is Microsoft Phi-4 (14B model) While Phi-4 excels on benchmarks like math competitions, BALROG reveals that Phi-4 falls short as an agent. More research on how to improve agentic performance is needed.

Introducing 🧞Genie 2 🧞 - our most capable large-scale foundation world model, which can generate a diverse array of consistent worlds, playable for up to a minute. We believe Genie 2 could unlock the next wave of capabilities for embodied agents 🧠.
It's great to see BALROG featured on Jack Clark's Import AI newsletter! Check out what he had to say about it here: jack-clark.net And check out BALROG's leaderboard on balrogai.com

Do you know what rating you’ll give after reading the intro? Are your confidence scores 4 or higher? Do you not respond in rebuttal phases? Are you worried how it will look if your rating is the only 8 among 3’s? This thread is for you.
Excited to announce "BALROG: a Benchmark for Agentic LLM and VLM Reasoning On Games" led b UCL DARK's @dpaglieri.bsky.social! Douwe Kiela plot below is maybe the scariest for AI progress — LLM benchmarks are saturating at an accelerating rate. BALROG to the rescue. This will keep us busy for years.

This may sound odd, but game-based benchmarks are some of the most useful for AI, since we have human scores and they require reasoning, planning & vision The hardest of all is Nethack. No AI is close, and I suspect that an AI that can fairly win/ascend would need to be AGI-ish. Paper: balrogai.com
Your LLM shall not pass! 🧙♂️ ... unless it's really good in reasoning and games! Check out this new amazing benchmark BALROG 👾 from @dpaglieri.bsky.social and team 👇
