Yacine Proposes 'Burnout Bench': Let LLM Agents Run Free Until They Break
yacinelearning · x · 2026-08-27
Yacine pitches an agent eval idea he calls burnout bench: give the LLM total freedom — any harness it wants, full internet access, even making phone calls if it feels like it — and let it keep running until it busts. He frames it as the last missing piece before RSI (recursive self-improvement): the point is to measure an agent's persistence and failure modes under long, unconstrained, fully-permissioned execution rather than single-turn task performance.
