What your agent's green test suite actually proves
Summary
This article argues that standard test suites with fixed inputs and expected outputs are insufficient for AI agents due to infinite input spaces and non-deterministic behavior, advocating for property-based testing instead.

A right answer from your agent doesn't mean it did the right thing
The article discusses the pitfalls of evaluating AI agents solely based on their final answers, emphasizing the importance of inspecting intermediate steps, tool calls, and reasoning to catch confidently wrong outputs. It suggests using automated scoring and trace replays to measure and improve agent behavior.
Should AI agent benchmarks separate “safe success” from “unsafe success”?
This article discusses the concept of 'Verifier Tax' in AI agent benchmarks, distinguishing between safe success (completing tasks without violating constraints) and unsafe success (completing tasks but violating constraints), and questions how to properly measure agent performance considering safety tradeoffs.
