TRACES agent benchmark grades live execution loops, not answers
SucceededMind · x · 2026-09-05
Apodex AI's new TRACES framework claims the era of static benchmarks is over: instead of grading a final string against a hidden key, it evaluates the agent's entire live loop — tool selection, dynamic error repair, maintaining logic state over long context, competing hypotheses, evidence lineage, and whether conclusions are correctly scoped. A correct number with a missing denominator still fails because it isn't reproducible. Submissions are open.
