Mitigating reward hacking: classifying frontend design as visual agent tasks with groupwise grading
stochasticchasm · x · 2026-09-22
The author shares a practical approach to mitigating reward hacking: classifying frontend design under "visual agent tasks" so evaluations leverage visual assessment of actual agent output rather than easily gamed proxies.
The other key idea is using relative groupwise grading instead of pointwise grading—ranking candidates within a group rather than scoring each in isolation—which reduces score gaming and grading noise.
