Incident Arena benchmark puts coding agents on call for incident response
amankhan · x · 2026-10-01
Agents write application code, but you still get paged at 2am when things break. Incident Arena is a new benchmark that puts coding agents on call to handle production incidents, released alongside a paper and full dataset. The author tagged incident-response players including Datadog, Sentry, PagerDuty, Cleric, Arize and Resolve.ai for feedback — a first step toward evaluating whether AI can own the most stressful part of on-call work.
