arXiv:2604. 00137v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Tool-integrated LLMs retrieve information, perform computations, and take real-world actions, but their reliability depends on both tool-use accuracy and intrinsic tool accuracy, including tool correctness, stability, and safety.

ERPBench introduces a new evaluation paradigm for computer-use agents that operate via screenshots and simulated actions, focusing on enterprise software such as ERP systems. The benchmark tests agents on a live, reproducible ERP platform and scores tasks against ground-truth database values, highlighting challenges like dense interfaces, multi-step interactions, and persistent record errors. Experiments with six agents show that strong general GUI performance does not translate to reliable enterprise outcomes, with many agents frequently saving incorrect data.

As Large Language Models (LLMs) evolve into autonomous agents, the need for unified evaluation infrastructure becomes critical. However, current evaluation pipelines remain highly fragmented and tightly coupled, hindering reproducibility and causing redundant engineering.
UniACE is a unified framework that standardizes the evaluation of large language model (LLM) agents by representing each benchmark as an instruction–tool–environment triplet and running models through a shared, task‑agnostic harness in isolated runtimes. It preserves native success criteria, offers an offline mode for dynamic‑resource tasks, and standardizes efficiency metrics, execution records, and failure attribution. Applying UniACE to 7 benchmarks across 24 domains and 15 models revealed significant score shifts, ranking reversals, and sensitivity to evidence representation, highlighting the impact of evaluation configuration on reported agent performance.

OpenCollab is a multi‑agent coding framework that unifies organization design, enforces experimental control on a shared runtime, and tracks execution via fine‑grained event streams. It introduces the metric Adherence to measure whether the declared organization is actually realized, showing that small configuration changes can shift adherence from 47.2% to 97.2%. Experiments demonstrate that a two‑coder workflow built on OpenCollab achieves new state‑of‑the‑art performance against mainstream harnesses while using the fewest tokens, and that a well‑designed organization can outperform strong existing harnesses.

arXiv:2607. 02520v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated research agents increasingly generate code, retrieve literature, and draft scientific artifacts, but they often fail to verify whether generated experiments execute correctly or whether cited sources support generated claims.

CrossAudit proposes a Git‑native, cross‑vendor audit protocol for autonomous research pipelines, ensuring each work increment is reviewed by an agent from a different vendor against a human‑written rulebook. Audit outcomes, disputes, and rulings are stored as git commits, providing a replayable, versioned supervision history. The authors implemented the protocol with GitHub Actions and Python, deployed it in a computational‑chemistry pipeline, and conducted a seeded‑defect trial that revealed differing interpretations of the same rulebook by two vendors.
