Turing

• 18 Sep 2026research SciCode++ scientific coding dataset introduced

  An expert-reviewed, test-validated scientific coding dataset that extends SciCode. LoRA SFT of Qwen 3.5 9B on it raised scores by 10.3% relative to baseline on SciCode and 9.1% on SciCode-Verified. The dataset is proprietary; samples are available on request.

  Why it matters: A published post-training result showing the data's effect on a model, not only an evaluation.

• 9 Sep 2026hire Patrick McKinney named Chief Information Security Officer

  Previously VP of Security & IT at Invisible Technologies. Earlier he held security and compliance roles at Dropbox and Coinbase.

  Why it matters: A dedicated security executive matters to data-ops and procurement teams. The release names no certifications (SOC 2/ISO).

• 7 Sep 2026benchmark CEO Bench: evaluating frontier agents on real company work

  Long-horizon financial and operational tasks inside a simulated direct-to-consumer company, Cirrus Sleep, Inc., graded against expert rubrics. The best model, GPT-5.6 Terra, averaged 41.3/100.

  Why it matters: Extends Turing's environments into enterprise knowledge work, which is a growing target for agent RL.

• 1 Sep 2026hire Ece Kamar named Chief Technology Officer

  Previously Corporate Vice President leading the AI Frontiers Lab at Microsoft Research. She holds a Harvard CS PhD. She will lead technology and research strategy across Turing's frontier AI and enterprise AI divisions.

  Why it matters: Hiring a senior research leader from a major lab adds to Turing's research credibility with frontier-lab buyers.

• Sep 2026benchmark KernelQuest benchmark: can agents write Triton GPU kernels?

  Engineer-written Triton kernel tasks graded through structural, correctness, policy and performance gates. Claude Opus 5 led with a 67.0% (±5.3) pass rate. Of 1,200 agent runs, 565 were rejected before speed was counted, and 170 of those had already met their speed target.

  Why it matters: Shows the verifier design behind Turing's agentic coding environments, built to resist reward hacking.

• Sep 2026benchmark bench.turing.com hub lists nine Turing benchmarks

  The hub lists Open-MM-RL, SciCode++, SDLCbench, Terminal-Bench 3.0, CEO Bench, CompanyBench, EKWbench, Medical Bench and OdysseysMega, with update dates from 2026-05-01 to 2026-09-29.

  Why it matters: One place to see Turing's evaluation coverage across STEM, SWE, enterprise knowledge work and browser/computer-use tasks.

• 16 Aug 2026research PLSQLBench: executable PL/SQL benchmark, which Turing says it built with Oracle

  A benchmark of whether LLM systems can write executable PL/SQL, graded by execution-based tests and run on eight frontier models. Models struggled with schema grounding, dialect fidelity, procedural control flow, exception handling and consistency across turns. Turing's newsletter calls it 'new research from Turing in collaboration with Oracle'. The arXiv page does not show affiliations.

  Why it matters: This is the only enterprise-vendor research collaboration found in the window. The collaboration is self-described by Turing.

• 13 Aug 2026benchmark Terminal-Bench 3.0: Turing contributes tasks and publishes a 'confident failure' analysis

  Turing says 'some of the tasks' in Terminal-Bench 3.0 were 'authored and verified by our team'. Its analysis of 3,600 trials found that almost all failures produced well-formed artifacts with wrong content, and that agents' self-checks repeated their own misreading of the task.

  Why it matters: Turing is a named task contributor to a public agent benchmark (leaderboard at frontierbench.ai). It contributed tasks; it does not own the benchmark.

• Aug 2026open-source Turing Frontier Research Lab releases the CyberStrike cybersecurity agent benchmark

  Expert-written offensive, defensive and DFIR tasks in Harbor format: an instruction, a containerized environment, a hidden deterministic verifier and an oracle solution. The top model, GPT-5.6 Sol, had a 31.5% mean per-task pass rate. The dataset is public on Hugging Face under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.

  Why it matters: Turing's first openly downloadable set of Harbor-format agent environments. It shows Turing builds verifiable RL-style environments, not only human data.

• 14 Jul 2026hire Robin Bordoli named President and Global Chief Revenue Officer

  Previously CRO at Weights & Biases, where he built a global field organization selling to AI labs and enterprises and 'saw the company through its successful acquisition by CoreWeave'. Earlier he was CEO of Figure Eight, which Appen acquired.

  Why it matters: He has long experience selling training data and tooling to AI labs, which points to a push on frontier-lab and enterprise sales.

• Jul 2026research Turing Frontier Research Lab publishes the Turing Terminal-Bench Data and Turing Frontier Agentic STEM training sets

  Two sets of expert-written terminal tasks graded by verifiers. One covers ML, data analysis and scientific computing; the other covers the STEM sciences. Turing publishes frontier-model pass rates for both: GPT-5.5 scored 48.6% on Terminal-Bench Data, and Claude Opus 4.8 scored 43.7% on Agentic STEM.

  Why it matters: Turing now sells verifier-graded agentic training data in a terminal-environment format, which matters directly to buyers of RL environments.

• 9 Apr 2026product Turing announces Turing Frontier, connecting AI labs with elite domain experts

  Turing's press page lists a BusinessWire release with this headline dated Apr 9, 2026. The release itself returned 403, so only the headline and date are verified.

  Why it matters: Makes Turing's expert-data work for frontier labs a named product line.
