Project APE introduces CRED for testing autonomous verification of research errors
The post shares a new paper, Verifying the Verifiers: Towards Autonomous Policy Evaluation, and a new benchmark called CRED.
- The authors ask whether LLMs can automatically verify key errors in policy-evaluation research as generation of plausible papers becomes cheap.
- They evaluate 60+ LLMs on the benchmark.
- The accompanying chart shows a cost-recall frontier across model release dates, comparing systems such as Mistral NeMo 12B, DeepSeek V4 Pro/Flash, Hunyuan 3, Kimi K2.6, GLM 5.2, and Codex 5.6 Luna high.
- The broader goal of Project APE is to build a system that can learn to do policy evaluation autonomously, making verification cheaper and more reliable at scale.
