How can we assess human-agent interactions? Case studies in software agent design

arXiv:2510. 09801v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While benchmarks measure the accuracy of LLM-powered agents, they mostly assume full automation, failing to represent the collaborative nature of real-world use cases.

Agents Are Systems, Not Models: Rethinking Agentic Evaluation

The paper argues that evaluating agents as fixed models is insufficient, proposing instead to treat them as configurable systems. Using a new benchmark of four scientific tasks, the authors analyze how five configuration aspects—task information, reasoning, self‑verification, time budget, and backbone model—affect performance, noting that about 54% of outcome variance arises from run‑to‑run differences even with the same settings. The study finds that providing more task information has the strongest impact, while interactions among settings (e.g., extra time only helps with adequate information or model capability) and the choice of verification tools significantly shape agent behavior.

AgentX: Towards Agent-Driven Self-Iteration of Industrial Recommender Systems

arXiv:2606. 26859v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recommendation algorithm iteration is moving from an artisanal, engineer-bound process toward an industrialized research loop, but this transition remains blocked by a structural execution bottleneck: the idea-to-launch cycle still depends on human engineers to generate hypotheses, modify production code, launch A/B experiments, and attribute online results.
