    GPT-5.6 Sol completed a Factorio run in peaceful mode.

    GPT-5.6 Sol completed a Factorio run in peaceful mode (no biters) in Codex with low thinking levels, taking 13.5 hours of game time. The run used a game manager, allowing Sol/Codex to interact with the game through a small library (Python instead of Bash this time), and the model programmed the game according to GUI rules. Observing the run showed that Sol exceeded expectations in some aspects but also exposed clear weaknesses.

    How Arca uses Claude to support long-term financial work

    Arca stated at the AI Engineers' New York Summit that its agents primarily handle background work, but human advisors retain final decision-making authority. Agents only analyze and propose solutions, with transactions executed by humans. Agent tasks can last up to ten days, and the company has developed an internal memory system to track task progress and responsibility allocation. They use models from Anthropic and OpenAI, automatically selecting models based on internal benchmarks via a custom harness. In terms of security, agent operations are strictly limited, involving no client risk, and they use sandbox computing and additional measures to handle sensitive data.
