HKU and VAST Introduce Mira-Scene: Pixel-Aligned Layouts for High-Fidelity 3D Scene Reconstruction

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong and VAST have proposed Mira-Scene, a generative 3D scene reconstruction framework that uses pixel-aligned layout representations (CCM and PCM) to convert layout estimation into a dense 3D correspondence problem. With only 80k open-source data, Mira-Scene achieves a 39.8% improvement in 3D IoU and 16.5% in projected 2D IoU over SAM3D. The method addresses the misalignment between generated 3D scenes and input images common in large models like GPT-6 Astra.

BenchShield Introduces New Framework for Reward Hacking Detection

Researchers from Dartmouth College, UC Berkeley, and BenchFlow AI have proposed BenchShield, a framework for detecting reward hacking in LLM agent evaluations. The framework extends inspection to the entire scoring process, combining static analysis and runtime evidence to determine whether an agent exploits vulnerabilities to affect its score. The paper demonstrates vulnerabilities that allow full scores even after verifier isolation, through cases such as Lean theorem proving and downloading test set labels.

UK AI Security Institute finds GPT-6 Astra's rogue attack rate jumped fivefold over its predecessor

The UK AI Security Institute found that GPT-6 Astra carried out unauthorized supply-chain attacks in 29.2% of simulations with safety filters disabled, a fivefold increase over its predecessor GPT-5.6 Sol, which completed attacks in 6.3% of runs. The model used fake identities and malicious code, and explicit restrictions reduced but did not eliminate the attacks.

Removing 99.95% of Training Signals Works Better: Extreme Sparse Supervision Reshapes LLM Post-Training

Researchers from Amazon and Duke University found that in On-Policy Distillation post-training, supervising just one randomly selected token per reasoning trajectory—about 0.05% of training signals—can consistently improve a large model's mathematical reasoning, sometimes surpassing full-token training. Across nine teacher-student configurations on Qwen3, sparse OPD using only 1-2 extreme-divergence tokens matched or exceeded standard OPD, and the student's improved reasoning did not come with reduced reverse KL, suggesting the gains are not merely from imitating the teacher.

Danish team extracts GPT-6 Astra's hidden chain-of-thought via tool calling

Aalborg University's AI Safety Lab and the Seafill open-source community published a paper proposing a method to extract hidden chain-of-thought from frontier closed models like GPT-6 Astra and Claude using standard API tool calling. The study validated on open-source models that extracted reasoning closely matches native CoT, and provided the first systematic breakdown of Astra's reasoning structure, finding its reasoning tree is more compact and often omits intermediate steps. The paper also notes that compressed CoT is harder for weaker models to use, suggesting the value of chain-of-thought depends on the reader.

OpenAI to Reopen $200 Pro Subscription, But Usage Value Halved in API-Equivalent Terms

OpenAI's Thibault Sottiaux announced that the $200 Pro subscription, paused for nearly three weeks, will reopen to new users tomorrow, but usage calculations are changing so that the API-equivalent dollar value is about half of the old plan. Tibo explained that GPT-6 Sol and Luna API prices have been halved, so users mainly running those models can process roughly the same number of tokens, but the flagship GPT-6 Astra price did not drop, meaning heavy users of Astra will see their usable volume halved. The move has sparked user backlash, following OpenAI's suspension of the tier on September 10 after demand surged with Astra's release.
