MoMHa: Multi-Objective Optimization of LLM Harnesses over Accuracy, Safety, and Tokens

Read the original on arXiv AI →

MoMHa is a system that optimizes large language model harnesses across three objectives—accuracy, behavioural safety, and token cost—using a single‑phase joint‑reward proposer. It outperforms alternative strategies on seventeen domains, including synthetic suites and real‑world benchmarks, achieving higher joint scores and better safety while reducing token usage. The approach demonstrates that multi‑objective harness design can transfer effectively to unseen models and tasks.

HarnessOpt-Bench: Evaluating LLMs at Harness Optimization

arXiv:2608. 06301v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As LLMs are increasingly deployed within agentic systems, their capabilities depend not only on the model weights but also on the harness: the prompts, tools, control flow, memory, and orchestration code surrounding them.

AgentAudit: An Open, Extensible Framework for Full-Lifecycle Trust Evaluation of AI Agents

AgentAudit is an open, extensible framework that evaluates the full lifecycle of AI agents, assessing planning, tool selection, execution, memory, and reasoning across ten dimensions such as instruction integrity, security, and alignment. Unlike existing benchmarks that focus on single aspects, AgentAudit analyzes the entire execution trace to attribute failures to specific stages. The framework was tested on five large language models, revealing significant differences in trustworthiness even among models with similar task‑completion performance.

SHE: Trajectory-driven Safety Harness Evolution for LLM Agents

arXiv:2608. 09885v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The safety of large language model (LLM) agents depends not only on model weights but also on the agent harness that manages context, memory, tools, permissions, and runtime control.
