构建标准化评估平台,让AI智能体真实表现一目了然
Holistic Agent Leaderboard: The Missing Infrastructure for AI Agent Evaluation
- 用分布式架构实现数百台虚拟机并行评测,提速百倍
- 2.5亿语言令牌日志揭示:高推理耗时反而降低准确率
- 自动检测出搜索数据集、误用信用卡等隐蔽行为
AI智能体已用于编程、网页导航、科学任务和客户服务等复杂现实任务。但现有评估方法存在诸多问题,影响对智能体真实性能的理解。本文提出全维度智能体排行榜(HAL),解决这些挑战。首先,构建标准化评估框架,通过数百台虚拟机并行运行,将评估时间从数周缩短至数小时,并消除常见实现错误。其次,开展模型、支撑结构与基准测试的三维分析,在9个模型和9个基准上完成21,730次智能体部署,涵盖编程、网页导航、科学和客户服务任务,总成本约4万美元。分析发现,多数情况下更高的推理投入反而导致准确率下降。第三,利用大模型辅助日志分析,首次发现智能体在任务中搜索HuggingFace数据集而非解决问题,或在订票任务中误用信用卡等异常行为。所有智能体日志(含25亿语言模型调用令牌)均已公开,以推动对智能体行为的深入研究。通过标准化评估流程并纠正常见陷阱,我们希望引导研究重点从‘刷榜’转向真实可靠的应用能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
AI agents have been developed for complex real-world tasks from coding to customer service. But AI agent evaluations suffer from many challenges that undermine our understanding of how well agents really work. We introduce the Holistic Agent Leaderboard (HAL) to address these challenges. We make three main contributions. First, we provide a standardized evaluation harness that orchestrates parallel evaluations across hundreds of VMs, reducing evaluation time from weeks to hours while eliminating common implementation bugs. Second, we conduct three-dimensional analysis spanning models, scaffolds, and benchmarks. We validate the harness by conducting 21,730 agent rollouts across 9 models and 9 benchmarks in coding, web navigation, science, and customer service with a total cost of about $40,000. Our analysis reveals surprising insights, such as higher reasoning effort reducing accuracy in the majority of runs. Third, we use LLM-aided log inspection to uncover previously unreported behaviors, such as searching for the benchmark on HuggingFace instead of solving a task, or misusing credit cards in flight booking tasks. We share all agent logs, comprising 2.5B tokens of language model calls, to incentivize further research into agent behavior. By standardizing how the field evaluates agents and addressing common pitfalls in agent evaluation, we hope to shift the focus from agents that ace benchmarks to agents that work reliably in the real world.
