ARIA is a multi‑agent large‑language‑model framework that autonomously runs end‑to‑end visual tests on Android infotainment systems. From simple scenario sentences, it executes interactions, generates reproducible scripts, and produces detailed reports with visual evidence. In evaluation on a manufacturer’s device, ARIA achieved a 93.3% completion rate, correctly identified all known defects, and demonstrated lower false‑positive rates compared to a single‑agent baseline.

The paper introduces a framework for evaluating large‑language‑model agents by focusing on the interaction between the model and its execution harness. It defines five complementary metrics—Valid Completion Rate, Model‑Harness Fit, Cross‑Model Fit, Interaction Residuals, and Token Load—to assess how reliably agents finish tasks, how well harnesses support specific models, and the overall suitability across models. Using these metrics, the authors evaluate four general‑purpose harnesses and two native systems on six benchmarks, finding that harness rankings differ by model and task and that some harnesses consistently achieve high valid completion rates.

arXiv:2607. 08124v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The behavior of an LLM agent is determined not only by the underlying model, but also by its harness: the executable program that constructs context, invokes tools, verifies intermediate results, and recovers from failures.

The paper investigates how environment-agnostic coding agents can be improved without environment-specific engineering. By modifying a Codex-based agent’s instruction to report difficulties and allow automatic continuation, the authors achieve higher mean scores on ARC‑AGI‑3 and AGI Maze, though performance on Terminal‑Bench remains mixed. A scripted controller that handles reset decisions partially recovers the advantage of a specialized agent, demonstrating that effective use of available information and procedures is crucial for these models.
