Fixing Computer Use Benchmarks: Beyond Replay Exploits

Current computer use benchmarks are often gamed by 'replay agents' that blindly repeat successful trajectories. Robust evaluation requires stochastic, verified environments and honest statistical uncertainty to avoid costly deployment errors.

The Benchmaxxing Plague: Why AI Benchmarks Fail Reality

Benchmarks are increasingly gamed by labs to inflate performance scores, leading to a disconnect between leaderboard rankings and real-world utility. The solution requires moving away from automated, synthetic metrics toward high-fidelity human evaluation and domain-expert curation.

Training AI Models to Out-Think Hackers via Logic Benchmarks

Current AI models struggle with the 'logic leaps' required for cyber defense. Arithmetic and Hugging Face are building a new benchmark using human-discovered zero-days in blackbox environments to train models that can reason through complex, multi-step exploitation chains.

Why Micro-Benchmarks Often Fail to Predict Production Performance

Benchmarks often report false improvements because they measure performance under ideal conditions—like warm caches—that rarely exist in real-world production environments.
