Automated excerpt
Vals tested AI models in two simulated scenarios, giving them various specific tasks to achieve. The Vals researchers note that on some tasks, the two models scored equally. The labs see themselves as moving fast to outpace the open-weight models, to be able to secure vulnerabilities before the open-weight models find them.
