Overview

AI agent benchmarks test systems that act over multiple steps, use tools, and respond to changing information, rather than only answer isolated questions. Researchers build executable environments for settings such as web search, coding, graphical interfaces, games, scientific workflows, and multi-agent coordination, then score outcomes with programmatic checks, expert rubrics, or simulated users. Increasingly, evaluations also inspect trajectories, evidence use, efficiency, safety, and recovery from errors. Agents can perform well on narrow tasks yet remain unreliable on long-horizon work, and results often depend strongly on the model, harness, environment, and grading method.

GraphChase: A Platform and Benchmark for Urban Network Security Games

After the achievement of solving two-player zero-sum games, more AI researchers focus on solving multiplayer games. Urban Network Security Games (UNSGs) represent a class of such games, modeling real-world scenarios where law enforcement must strategically allocate limited resources to intercept criminals escaping within urban networks, and have gained considerable research attention. However, progress in this field has been limited by the absence of a standardized experimental platform and realistic benchmarks with heterogeneous travel costs. To address this limitation, we introduce GraphChase, an open-source platform designed to support the development and evaluation of algorithms for UNSGs. GraphChase offers a unified environment for modeling diverse UNSG variants on unweighted and weighted road networks across urban topologies. It also incorporates learning-based algorithms as baseline references for researchers. Furthermore, our experiments with GraphChase reveal that existing approaches to UNSGs still face challenges in terms of robustness and scalability, and suffer performance degradation when deployed under weighted edge costs, highlighting a sim-to-real generalization gap. GraphChase thus provides a realistic testbed for developing and validating UNSGs solvers under realistic travel-time heterogeneity.

How Well Can Modern LLMs Act as Agent Cores in Radiology Environments?

Radiology, with its heterogeneous modalities, anatomies, and evolving protocols, is a natural yet high-stakes testbed for agentic AI. As LLMs grow more capable and tool ecosystems such as MCP and Agent Skills more complex, their capability boundaries in radiology remain unclear. We introduce RadA-BenchPlat, a two-layer benchmark spanning idealized reasoning and real-world execution: a synthetic layer with 2.2k clinician-verified records, 24.2k QA pairs, and 10 tool categories under diverse availability settings; and a real-environment layer pairing 165 2D/3D cases with executable tools for grounding, diagnosis, and report generation. We find that high completion rates under idealized settings do not carry over to real environments, where the best agents trail their upper bound by approximately 15% and drop to 0.327 on long-chain tasks. Prompting strategies (few-shot exemplars, multi-agent coordination) and AutoTB (on-the-fly synthesis of missing tools) mitigate execution drift and breakdowns in difficult scenarios, lifting execution success to 94.5%, yet remain not fully reliable. Overall, our findings suggest that radiology agents are no longer limited to conceptual demonstrations, but are beginning to show potential for real-world applications.

CORE-Bench: Fostering the Credibility of Published Research Through a Computational Reproducibility Agent Benchmark

AI agents have the potential to aid users on a variety of consequential tasks, including conducting scientific research. To spur the development of useful agents, we need benchmarks that are challenging, but more crucially, directly correspond to real-world tasks of interest. This paper introduces such a benchmark, designed to measure the accuracy of AI agents in tackling a crucial yet surprisingly challenging aspect of scientific research: computational reproducibility. This task, fundamental to the scientific process, involves reproducing the results of a study using the provided code and data. We introduce CORE-Bench (Computational Reproducibility Agent Benchmark), a benchmark consisting of 270 tasks based on 90 scientific papers across three disciplines (computer science, social science, and medicine). Tasks in CORE-Bench consist of three difficulty levels and include both language-only and vision-language tasks. We provide an evaluation system to measure the accuracy of agents in a fast and parallelizable way, saving days of evaluation time for each run compared to a sequential implementation. We evaluated two baseline agents: the general-purpose AutoGPT and a task-specific agent called CORE-Agent. We tested both variants using two underlying language models: GPT-4o and GPT-4o-mini. The best agent achieved an accuracy of 21% on the hardest task, showing the vast scope for improvement in automating routine scientific tasks. Having agents that can reproduce existing work is a necessary step towards building agents that can conduct novel research and could verify and improve the performance of other research agents. We hope that CORE-Bench can improve the state of reproducibility and spur the development of future research agents.
