The Reasoning Model Kept All 39 Plant Scenarios Inside Bounds
A programmatically bounded action interface put general-purpose reasoning models against a plant-wide benchmark.
Summary
A programmatically bounded action interface put general-purpose reasoning models against a plant-wide benchmark.
The authors report that the leading model maintained hard constraints across all 39 abnormal situations and operating-point changes, while basic regulatory control failed in fifteen. It also matched the benchmark’s expert-engineered advanced control and diagnosed the stated root cause in fifteen safety-critical cases; these are benchmark results without a human in the loop, not authorization to deploy an LLM on a real plant.
