Scale AI + UC paper: READY framework says rank agents by human-review cost, not benchmark accuracy
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-09-05
A paper from Scale AI and the University of California shows two agents can score nearly the same on benchmarks yet require very different levels of human review. READY evaluates the agent together with its human oversight: what reliability the workflow needs, which cases the agent can handle alone, how much review is required, and what that policy costs. The takeaway: enterprise teams should rank agents by the cost of reliable deployment, not benchmark accuracy.
