RECLAIM: Can Agents Reproduce the Claims of Machine Learning Papers?

Read the original on arXiv AI →

RECLAIM is a benchmark that tests whether AI agents can reproduce results from 100 NeurIPS 2025 papers, with each paper pre‑defined with a target result, success criteria, and GPU‑hour budget. Papers are categorized into three difficulty tiers—Run, Retrain, and Reimplement—based on the availability of code, data, and weights. In experiments, the best agent succeeded on only 41% of Run‑tier papers, 27% of Retrain‑tier, and 15% of Reimplement‑tier, often stopping early with unused budget and frequently making errors such as writing code without verifying against the paper’s numbers.

$\tau^\tau$-Bench: An Environment for End-To-End, Realistic Agent Construction

The paper introduces $ au^ au$-Bench, a benchmark that turns the construction of AI agents into a measurable task. In this environment a developer agent receives real business records, client requirements, a production API, an existing codebase, and constraints on cost and models, and must deliver a complete customer‑service agent. The benchmark evaluates performance by deploying the agent against simulated users, revealing that current state‑of‑the‑art models achieve only 23.9% success while an expert‑written reference scores 82.2%.
