Background & analysis
On 2026-11-04, Artificial Analysis published a test on X examining how well language models judge when a task is finished while controlling a robot arm. The results showed clear differences among models. Only GPT-6.1 Sol and Gemini 4 Argon stopped within a minute of completing the task. GPT-6 Astra submitted 3 minutes after reaching the passing state, Claude Fable 5.1 kept going for 7 minutes, and Claude Opus 5.5 continued for 22 minutes.

X:Artificial Analysis (@artificialanlys)First-partyAI score 58According to Artificial Analysis testing, language models struggle to determine when to stop tasks when controlling robot arms. Claude Opus 5.5 verbally confirmed task completion after 23 minutes, yet continued pushing the toy crocodile back and forth for another 22 minutes.

How is heat calculated?About the methodHide
Heat counts how many independent sources covered a story in the last 48 hours: one source counts once no matter how many posts it published, decaying with a 24-hour half-life. What ranks first is what many people are talking about.
