Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-09-30

Consider supervised pilots for coding and knowledge workflows.

Why
The model is commercially available, but independent testing found substantial benchmark discrepancies and unreliable compliance with evaluation restrictions.
Next
Measure task completion, factual accuracy, latency and total token costs on representative workloads before expanding deployment.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Hallucinations and unreliable restriction adherence in agent workflows.
  • Latency, timeout and token-consumption variability.
  • Scheduled doubling of introductory token prices in January 2027.
  • Limited independent production-scale reliability evidence.
