Disclosure-Gated User Simulation for Companion-Agent Evaluation
The paper introduces a disclosure‑gated user simulator for companion‑agent evaluation, where information release is conditioned on the agent’s behavior through a five‑level gate system. The authors train the simulator on synthetic and real data, audit its performance, and demonstrate that it preserves ranking order and score stability across 12 tested systems. Their released simulator achieves a 0.993 correlation with the original benchmark’s simulator and outperforms prompting a frontier model, which only shifts scores upward without affecting rankings.

GAUGE: When Not to Trust LLM-as-a-Judge in User-Simulated Evaluation of Task-Oriented Agents
GAUGE is a new offline protocol that evaluates whether the common practice of using an LLM-as-a-judge to rank task‑oriented agents actually aligns with a verifiable reward. Across 25 agents from six providers on two benchmarks, GAUGE finds that user satisfaction scores are largely uncorrelated with task success, and that the judge’s ranking loses precision when agents are closely matched in performance. The study highlights a gap between ranking validity and construct validity in current evaluation practices.

Uncertainty Quantification for Computer-Use Agents: A Benchmark across Vision-Language Models and GUI Grounding Datasets
arXiv:2606. 25760v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computer-use agents turn vision-language model (VLM) predictions into executable GUI clicks, so reliable uncertainty estimates are essential for rejection, calibration, miss-severity ranking, and spatial safety regions.

SWE-Duel: Towards a Self-Scaling Arena for Coding Agents
SWE‑Duel proposes a self‑scaling benchmark for coding agents, where tasks and oracles are generated at evaluation time to prevent data leakage and adapt difficulty to participant performance. In the arena, two agents take turns as Red and Blue: Red proposes a feature, injects a subtle bug, and must repair it blind, while Blue reviews the pull request without knowing the bug and must pass all tests. A tournament of 11 model‑harness participants on 15 repositories across five languages showed GPT‑5.5/Codex CLI as the top solver and Claude Opus 4.8/mini‑swe‑agent as the top task author, with newer model versions producing harder tasks for older ones.
