    GPT-6-Astra solves 49 of 50 physics research problems at $2.40 apiece

    GPT-6-Astra, running in OpenAI's Codex environment without human hints, solved 49 of 50 TheoPhysEval problems across eleven theoretical physics subfields, costing just under $116 overall. Anthropic's Opus 5.5 scored 92 percent, while both models reached 92 percent without internet access. The researchers emphasize that the benchmark tests calculations using known methods, while choosing promising research questions remains a separate challenge for current agents.

    Why it matters: The benchmark distinguishes proficiency in concrete physics calculations from the ability to choose fruitful research questions, clarifying which parts of scientific work its high scores actually measure.

    Building Agents That Transact With Anchor Browser and AgentCore Payments

    The guide explains how Anchor Browser integrates with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments to handle x402-protected pages and APIs within the same browser session. Setting session.x402 to true enables automatic payments subject to configured spending and expiration limits, while wallet credentials remain outside the agent runtime. Existing browser automation code can continue unchanged; rejected payments or unsupported challenges leave the original HTTP 402 response intact.

    Why it matters: The integration illustrates a transferable architecture for paid agent workflows by placing payment signing and budget enforcement outside the agent runtime while preserving browser session context.
