Agents beyond clean benchmarks
Why long-running work needs more than a good single-turn answer.
The gap between a score and a system
Andon Labs describes Pion as a platform for experimenting with agents that operate businesses. The article connects simulated evaluations such as Vending-Bench with deployments in real environments.
The interesting distinction is between performing well in a bounded test and maintaining coherent behavior over many actions, changing circumstances, and imperfect feedback.
What to look for in an agent workflow
A useful evaluation can examine whether the agent notices failed actions, keeps track of resources, and recovers without repeating an unhelpful loop. Final output quality is only one part of that picture.
Read the evaluation setup alongside the headline outcomes. The environment, duration, and success criteria are part of the result.
