ExploitGym needs independent reproduction to separate model skill from harness effects
ruthstarkman · x · 2026-07-29
The post argues that ExploitGym needs independent reproduction of the evaluation to separate the model’s actual contribution from the effects of the harness and the objective it was optimizing.
It frames the setup as an AI version of the Kobayashi Maru test, suggesting the benchmark is interesting precisely because the test conditions may shape the outcome as much as the model itself.
