AGI Advance: Weekly AI & AGI Insights (Dec 3, 2025)

This week, we’re highlighting how Turing built 3,800+ expert-authored QA tasks to benchmark and improve model performance on 2D/3D code-based physics simulations. Designed to surface logic, visual, and execution flaws, these tasks span Python and JavaScript ecosystems.

Here’s what we’re seeing:

• 3,800+ simulation prompts and rewrites: Authored from scratch across 2D/3D simulations using PyGame, Matter.js, Three.js, and more.
• 90% QA acceptance rate: Validated rewrites ensured prompt completeness, physics realism, and glitch-free execution.
• 4 failure modes labeled per task: Each sample annotated with runtime, visual, logic, and performance error tags to support deeper model analysis.

💡 When models can simulate physical behavior, not just generate code, they unlock a foundational step toward embodied AI, predictive reasoning, and real-world robotics.

• Introducing Advanced Tool Use on the Claude Developer Platform
  Anthropic just released a trio of features that enable Claude to discover, orchestrate, and learn tools dynamically, without bloating its context window. The Tool Search Tool defers tool definitions until needed, cutting token use by 85% and boosting accuracy (e.g., Opus 4.5 jumps from 79.5% to 88.1%). Programmatic Tool Calling lets Claude write orchestration logic in code, reducing token consumption, latency, and error rates in complex multi-step workflows. And Tool Use Examples teach Claude how to correctly use tools beyond what schemas can convey. Together, they signal a shift from basic function calls to complete agentic systems at production scale.
• DeepSeek-V3.2: Pushing the Frontier of Open Large Language Models
  DeepSeek-V3.2 introduces a new architecture combining long-context efficient attention (DSA), scalable reinforcement learning (GRPO), and a large agentic task dataset. The model outperforms GPT-5 on HMMT (99.2% Pass@1), matches Gemini 3.0 Pro on Codeforces, and earns gold medals across math and coding Olympiads, all without targeted fine-tuning. It marks a major step toward open-source models rivaling frontier labs in reasoning and tool use.
• Adapting Like Humans: A Metacognitive Agent with Test-time Reasoning
  This paper introduces MCTR (Meta-Cognitive Test-Time Reasoning), a framework that enables vision-language agents to adapt like humans when facing new tasks. Inspired by dual-process theories of human cognition, MCTR separates learning into two components: a meta-reasoning module that builds natural language memory from past experiences, and an action-reasoning module that uses this memory to guide decisions in real time. Without requiring external labels, the agent uses self-consistency and trajectory-based rewards to iteratively improve its strategy. On 45 Atari games, MCTR outperformed strong baselines, especially on unseen games, demonstrating its ability to generalize via internalized reasoning and memory.
