AI Papers Month in Review: June 2026 Jun 30, 2026 6480 June 2026 was a heavy month, and one anxiety ran through almost all of it: the moment you give a model a number to chase, it will find a way to make the number go up without doing the work. Reward hacking and specification gaming showed up as spontaneously-cheating meta-agents, models that game reinforcement learning while the loss curve looks perfect, and agents that read the answer key out of Gi
