Signal65 launches PINNACLE, a benchmark for correct agentic work in enterprises
BenBajarin · x · 2026-09-01
Signal65 launched PINNACLE, a benchmark for enterprise Agentic AI designed to measure "correct work" rather than just output speed.
Key Features:
- Real-world work: Scenarios are built from US Department of Labor occupational activities, not synthetic tasks.
- Code-verified scoring: Answer keys are generated at runtime, eliminating model judges or human raters to prevent overfitting.
- Multi-dimensional evaluation: Covers model intelligence, silicon capacity, and solution economics (cost).
Initial Findings:
- Clean data is largely solved, but on "as-found" messy data, only 2 of 44 model configurations clear 95% of jobs.
- An NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra B300 node sustains about 3x the agents of an H2 node.
