The paper examines whether benchmark scores obtained via APIs accurately reflect the performance of AI chatbots when accessed through user interfaces. By auditing ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini across seven systems and nine benchmarks, the authors find that API evaluations consistently overestimate accuracy and consistency compared to interface evaluations, with differences comparable to downgrading a full model generation. Attempts to align API behavior with interface behavior through prompt and parameter adjustments only partially close the gap.
arXiv:2608. 06202v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) benchmark evaluations are routinely used to support claims about model safety, reliability, and deployment readiness.
ADeptS-Bench is a new benchmark designed to assess the trustworthiness of Computer Use Agents (CUAs) across mobile and desktop devices. It consists of two streams: a Safety stream with paired benign and malicious tasks that embed visual threats, and a Disambiguation stream that tests whether agents seek clarification when instructions are ambiguous. Evaluation of seven models shows none consistently achieves high task success while keeping attack success low, and all models exhibit problematic behaviors such as unhesitant checkout on a $25K order and failure to detect a mislabeled factory reset button.

arXiv:2606. 00566v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As language models take on agentic roles that span calling external APIs, reading tool outputs, and acting on instructions embedded in third-party content, their attack surface expands well beyond what users type.
