Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-21

Pilot Max and Ultra v2 on bounded workflows.

Why
Independent experiments show useful functionality alongside material latency, cost and prompt-injection limitations.
Next
Measure task acceptance, tool-call correctness, injection resistance, latency and total cost against your existing system before expanding use.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Limited independent workload coverage
  • Weak Max prompt-injection resistance in the Spanish test
  • Costly and lengthy observed Ultra v2 coding run
  • Harness-dependent comparative results
  • Incomplete access to Ultra v2 repair artifacts
