3. Intology's Locus software achieves a new SOTA on PostTrainBench, automating AI R&D with significant performance gains
model-releases - release, research - August 11, 2026
What changed? The new version of Locus is able to get a score of 44.7% on PostTrainBench, a benchmark which sees how well AI systems can take an open weight model and improve its performance above its baseline. The results: Locus “outperforms every frontier-agent baseline on PostTrainBench, and given greater compute, post-trains models that collectively surpass both the baselines and the official human instruction-tuned Qwen3-1.7B release across the benchmark suite”.
