NVIDIA Paper: Evaluate Skills, Not Agents, as Document Scores Show Zero Correlation with Lift
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-08-26
A new Nvidia paper proposes "Skill Lift" for evaluating agent skills, arguing that high-scoring skill documents are misleading. By comparing task execution with and without a target skill, the study found structural and judge scores correlate near zero (-0.0181 and -0.0266) with measured lift, indicating traditional document or final-answer grading fails to reflect actual workflow value.
