Controversial

AIThe California State Athletic Commission sent Rek a cease-and-desist letter over a September 18 match in which a human piloting a humanoid robot fought Frankie LaPenna. The letter, posted to X by Rek CEO Cix Liv on September 30, demands that Rek stop promoting any contest involving a human in California without commission approval. Rek's next planned match, on Friday, will pit two armed robots against each other.

AISherwin Wu, an OpenAI employee, says the updated Harvey LAB-AA v1.1 benchmark, announced by Artificial Analysis with Harvey, is more useful than the original LAB results. The new Hallucination-Gated All-Pass Rate credits a task only when every rubric criterion passes and no material hallucination appears. Grok 4.7 (xhigh) leads at 9.4%, while GPT-6 Astra (max) at 8.6% has very few material hallucinations.

Why it matters: The update adds a hallucination gate to a legal benchmark, showing that models with high all-pass rates can rank much lower once material errors count.
