📢 1) We have a few papers that advance the state of the art of AI agent evaluation. Details and links in Stephan's post. 2) AI agent evaluation has quickly become a distinct discipline. We're working on a paper titled "Emerging trends in AI agent evaluation" that extracts best practices for this community. 3) I'm giving an invited talk at ICML, addressing anxiety about supposedly imminent Recursive Self Improvement and the question of what will remain for humans to work on (especially scientists, researchers, software engineers). I hope to make it provocative but cautiously optimistic. https://t.co/rYHlxPGEXY (I also plan to share the ideas from the talk as essays on the AI as Normal Technology newsletter.)

        "ext_alt_text": "Emerging trends in AI agent evaluation\nAbstract\nAI evaluation used to be relatively straightforward: researchers created benchmarks and AI developers reported accuracy figures on selected benchmarks. With the rise of agents, this approach has broken down in three ways. First, the complexity of their behavior has necessitated many improvements to measurement methodology, scientific rigor, and evaluation infrastructure. Second, their deployment in economically relevant, sometimes high-stakes scenarios has expanded the scope of evaluation from the lab to the field. Finally, evaluation has emerged as a distinct community, with independence from the AI labs as a key goal. We survey about 30 trends across the above three dimensions—the “How,” “What,” and “Who” of AI agent evaluation. Our goal is to consolidate best practices and identify areas where evaluation practices have not yet caught up.\n",
