ViBench 2.0: A Benchmark for Long-Horizon Software Building

ViBench 2.0 is a new benchmark for long‑horizon software building, featuring 17 full‑stack web products that evolve through 241 feature requests. The benchmark evaluates models only when the entire product is finished, using 544 test plans per product to ensure a strict grading protocol. Initial results show a reliability gap: top models pass most test plans but rarely deliver fully working products, though recent releases have improved performance significantly.

AgentSWE: Can Coding Agents Build the Agent You Actually Want?

AgentSWE is a new benchmark for agent software engineering that evaluates coding agents across three lifecycle stages: creating an agent from a natural‑language requirement, editing existing agent codebases, and optimizing toward a measurable target. The benchmark consists of 25 commission‑style tasks, where builders iterate on a few illustrative cases and are then tested on held‑out cases that cover the full requirement, with hard pass/fail gates or objective‑based grading. Experiments show that current coding agents fail to meet the requirements, revealing common failure modes such as overfitting, incomplete runtimes, and unsupported completion claims.

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.

UniACE: A Unified Framework for Evaluating LLM Agentic Capabilities

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.
