Two separate research works have been published examining core functional capabilities of large language models.

Researchers conducted a systematic controlled study to evaluate the performance of large language models used as novelty judges for AI-generated ideas. arXiv filed the work on 27 October 2026.[^1]

Jack Lindsey, a researcher at Anthropic, published a study testing introspection in large language models. Quanta Magazine carried notice of the 2025 work on 4 November 2026.[^2]
