QuantClaw: Precision Where It Matters for OpenClaw

Agent benchmarks should reflect what users actually ask deployed agents to do, yet existing benchmarks often miss key realism properties of real developer-agent sessions. We introduce RealClawBench, a live benchmark framework built from real OpenClaw sessions to capture the distribution, diversity, and real-world difficulty of deployed agent use. Real user requests are challenging to benchmark because they often depend on local execution environments, involve implicit or underspecified intent, and require nontrivial verification. RealClawBench addresses these challenges with two core mechanisms: reconstructed execution environments and deterministic verifiable scorers, which together convert real sessions into reproducible, automatically scored tasks. The resulting release contains 281 executable tasks sampled from a much larger real-session pool while preserving the source distribution, with maximum final-vs-source Jensen-Shannon divergence of 0.0448. Evaluating 14 contemporary models shows that the best system solves only 65.8% of tasks, revealing substantial headroom on realistic developer-agent workloads. By turning real deployed sessions into controlled evaluation instances, RealClawBench provides a practical path toward benchmarks that better measure agent capability in actual use.

LLM agents have recently emerged as a powerful paradigm for solving complex tasks through planning, tool use, memory retrieval, and multi-step interaction. However, these agentic workflows often introduce substantial input-side overhead, making the compute-intensive prefilling stage a key bottleneck in long-context, multi-turn inference. In this work, we propose Mix-Quant, a simple and effective phase-aware quantization framework for fast agentic inference. We first investigate FP4 quantization in agentic LLM workflows and observe that quantizing the entire inference process can incur significant performance degradation. In contrast, the prefilling stage exhibits substantial quantization redundancy and can therefore be quantized with minimal accuracy loss, despite being the dominant source of computation. Based on this insight, we apply high-throughput NVFP4 quantization to the prefilling phase while preserving BF16 precision for decoding. By decoupling prefilling acceleration from decoding quality, Mix-Quant combines phase-aware algorithmic quantization with hardware-efficient NVFP4 execution to alleviate the inference bottleneck in LLM agents. Extensive experiments across long-context and agentic benchmarks demonstrate that Mix-Quant largely preserves task performance while delivering significant efficiency improvements, achieving up to a 3x speedup during prefilling.

We present AgentSLABench, a resource-aware evaluation framework for autonomous AI agents that measures correctness alongside latency, cost, compute, memory, and network usage under declared resource budgets. Unlike standard benchmarks that report only accuracy, AgentSLABench produces a multi-dimensional profile per agent per task - the same way systems profilers (perf, pprof, cProfile) measure resource consumption of code, but extended with task correctness as a first-class dimension. AgentSLABench provides 16 task environments across 6 categories (5 core: multi-hop QA, retail substitution, code generation, web shopping, travel planning; 11 extended) with isolated Docker containers, declared CPU/memory/time/network budgets, sealed test sets with SHA256 hashes, and a standardized profiling protocol. We profile 5 general-purpose baseline agents (ReAct, PlanAndSolve, Reflexion, CoT, Random) plus 4 task-specialized agents, finding that specialized agents achieve 100% success on 3/5 core tasks (fact_qa, web_shopping, travel_planning) and 66.7-83.3% on retail and code_gen, while general baselines fail entirely on 4/5 domain tasks. Crucially, we report the Efficiency-Adjusted Success Rate (EASR) - success weighted by resource consumption relative to declared budgets - revealing that high accuracy at unbounded cost is not production-viable. We release the full infrastructure, sealed test sets, and profiling results to enable reproducible, resource-aware agent evaluation.
