Meta's AI team released a blog post on autobenchmarking AI agents. The core finding: building a "high-quality" agent benchmark hinges on two things—(1) forming a meaningful target task, and (2) handling the intricate details of how to instantiate it. Their main takeaway is that human involvement matters at both stages.
The post is relevant to anyone working on agent eval engineering and automated benchmark construction methodology.
