EarlyEval introduces a lightweight framework that predicts an LLM agent’s final outcome early in its execution, allowing the run to halt when a LightGBM classifier reaches a calibrated confidence threshold. By training success and failure classifiers on behavioral, textual, and reference-solution features, EarlyEval can cut 13%-26% of agent steps and up to 44.1% of input tokens while maintaining 89%-97% prediction accuracy. Across three benchmarks—SWE-bench Verified, TerminalBench, and Toolathlon—this approach reduces evaluation costs with minimal impact on per-agent resolve rates.

arXiv:2607. 08964v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents have become capable of autonomously completing short, well-specified tasks.
arXiv:2606. 25207v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hyperparameter Optimization (HPO) is essential for maximizing machine learning model performance, and its core challenge is sample efficiency: finding strong configurations within a limited budget.
arXiv:2606. 14211v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLMs are increasingly deployed as agents that interact with external environments and observe feedback such as execution results, error messages, and tool outputs.

arXiv:2607. 14408v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A self-evolving agentic loop repeatedly proposes a tweaked version of an agent (its prompt template or program) and accepts or rejects the change based on a per-iteration quality signal.
arXiv:2607. 25816v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model agents often spend substantial wall-clock time waiting for tool call results.
arXiv:2607. 29626v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As LLMs evolve from code completion systems into autonomous scientific agents, evaluating their ability to conduct experiments has become increasingly important.
arXiv:2605. 28556v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As agent capabilities advance, existing benchmarks, such as $\tau^2$-Bench, are becoming increasingly saturated.
arXiv:2608. 05519v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent benchmarks usually measure task completion and treat resource use as an auxiliary statistic.
arXiv:2607. 28037v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As LLM-based agents are deployed in complex, multi-step workflows, a critical evaluation gap has emerged: most existing benchmarks judge only final outcomes, unable to distinguish reliable reasoning from lucky success or attribute failures to specific process deficiencies, hindering attribution in long-horizon tasks.
arXiv:2606. 07682v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI agents are increasingly expected to complete long-horizon workflows that require sustained progress over hours, millions of tokens, and complex environments.
