Law Punx, LegalOn GPT-5 Eval, LegalSifter, Autologyx + – Artificial Lawyer

Next week, Artificial Lawyer will be launching Law Punx, a new podcast for people who want to tell it like it is, a place where those who have something to say get to say it to the world. It’s all about smart ideas, strongly held.

As seen below, this site already does Product Walk Throughs – which are great for showing how a new offering works, and AL TV also does long-form video interviews. But, there hasn’t been a place where guests can really set out their view of the world in a highly concentrated form. Law Punx seeks to fill that gap and give those who really want to say something a platform to do so. Each pod will be short, punchy, and seek to deliver on one main topic.

If you’ve got something you want to say about the legal and legal tech worlds, and just thinking about it makes your pulse quicken and your adrenalin surge, so much so that you’ve just got to say it out loud….then drop me a line, Law Punx would like to hear from you and so would Artificial Lawyer’s global audience, (> richard@artificiallawyer.com ). (P.S. Law Punx is not a marketing channel, it’s an ideas channel.)

And on the theme of videos and what else AL does, here’s this week’s Product Walk Through with LegalSifter and their new ReviewPro contract AI capability.

And here’s a long-form interview with Purple, the new fractional SWAT team for legal tech, headed by Tim Pullan + Dom Conte.

And just a couple of news items:

LegalOn has introduced a Contract Review Benchmark and has done an initial evaluation of GPT-5’s performance compared to GPT-4.1.

The contract-focused company said:

‘Our Contract Review Benchmark evaluates model performance in a variety of core contracting tasks, including spotting issues, making redlines, answering questions, and more. Initial evaluations may not reflect final performance results, because some model improvements become visible only with deeper prompt tuning.

‘We find that model performance varies by language, and we evaluate models in both English and Japanese. The results we’re sharing here are for our English language Contract Review Benchmark.

Initial Evaluation Results of GPT-5’s Performance vs. GPT-4.1

Legal AI Assistant (includes a range of conversational tasks such as answering questions, summarizing changes, and more): 90% vs. 78% → a noteworthy improvement of 12%

Contract Redlines: Net improvement of ~6% → a modest improvement

Contract Issue Spotting: Roughly flat to slightly worse performance

Longer response times across the board, sometimes 10x slower.

In short: GPT-5 improves in some areas but not others, and today the model is significantly slower than GPT-4.1. We expect response times to improve in coming months and, as noted, we expect some model improvements will become visible with more prompt tuning. We’ll be diving into low-latency configurations to seek out speed improvements and tuning prompts to drive better model performance.’

And, Autologyx has launched its ‘next-generation’ Applied AI tooling, which empowers organisations to design, orchestrate, and embed AI agents into workflows.

The company explained: ‘At the heart of Autologyx’s Applied AI tooling is the ability to build specialised AI agents, modular, reusable, and purpose-built for knowledge work. Whether reviewing contracts, triaging emails, summarising complex documents, or analysing regulatory data, Autologyx makes it easy for legal, compliance, operations, and innovation teams to rapidly configure AI agents using the latest best-in-class models.’

Beyond building agents, Autologyx provides an orchestration layer that manages how, when, and where AI agents operate, they added. This allows you to handle matters such as:

Legal intake and triage with AI-augmented routing

Contract classification & review powered by multi-agent collaboration

Remediation & repapering exercises

Regulatory compliance monitoring with live alerts
