Summary

This paper presents a retrospective analysis of the CODS 2025 AssetOpsBench Challenge, examining leaderboard saturation, hidden evaluation effects, and design patterns rewarded.

Competition retrospectives are useful when they explain what a leaderboard measured, how hidden evaluation changed conclusions, and which design patterns were rewarded. We revisit the CODS 2025 challenge, a privacy-aware Codabench competition on industrial multi-agent orchestration built on . We combine final rank sheets, a 300-submission server log, 149-team registrations, best-submission exports, the organizer winners report, the companion system paper, and verified planning-track source trees. Five results stand out. First, the public planning leaderboard saturates at 72.73\%, and richer prompts do not improve that peak. Second, hidden evaluation changes the story: public and private scores correlate moderately in planning (r{=}0.69) but negatively in execution (r{=}{-}0.13), with several 45.45\% public execution systems reaching 63.64\% on the hidden set. Third, the term is numerically almost inert in the official composite -- combined on a 0--1 scale with 0--100 percentage scores, it contributes at most 0.05 points per track, and rescaling would swap the top two teams. Fourth, the competition is operationally account-based but substantively team-based: 149 registered teams reduce to 24 with non-zero public scores and 11 fully ranked, while 52.3\% of deduplicated registrations list multiple usernames. Fifth, successful execution methods mostly improve guardrails -- response selection, contamination cleanup, fallback, and context control -- rather than novel agent architectures. These findings identify which behaviors the evaluation rewarded, and motivate scale-aware composites, skill-level diagnostics, and versioned artifact release.

Life After Benchmark Saturation: A Case Study of CORE-Bench

arXiv cs.AI

This paper argues against the 'retire-and-replace' approach to saturated benchmarks, using CORE-Bench as a case study to demonstrate that measuring agent performance along dimensions such as construct validity, efficiency, reliability, and human-agent collaboration yields meaningful insights even after accuracy plateaus.

CODA-BENCH: Can Code Agents Handle Data-Intensive Tasks?

Hugging Face Daily Papers

CODA-BENCH is a new benchmark for evaluating code agents on data-intensive tasks, bridging the gap between code-centric and data-centric evaluations. It includes over 1,000 tasks from 31 communities, with realistic data scale and noise, revealing that even top agents achieve only 61.1% success rate.

Are Performance-Optimization Benchmarks Reliably Measuring Coding Agents?

Hugging Face Daily Papers

This paper audits three performance-optimization benchmarks (GSO, SWE-Perf, SWE-efficiency) for coding agents, finding that runtime instability, scoring rules, and task coverage significantly affect reliability, and that many tasks are already solved by at least one public submission.
