Project APE builds its verifier benchmark from 100 AI-written papers with injected errors
soumitrashukla9 · x · 2026-07-22
This post explains a core benchmark-design issue for Project APE: what counts as ground truth?
- The team starts from 100 fully AI-written papers.
- They then inject errors intentionally according to the CRED taxonomy.
- The benchmark asks whether a perfect verifier can detect all of those injected defects.
It is essentially a methodology post about how to evaluate verification systems under controlled, known errors.
