The passage around this formula
Third, agent evaluation will move toward stateful, adversarial, repeated deployment. Static question sets are too easy to overfit and too distant from consequences. Benchmarks resembling SWE-bench and -bench point toward executable tasks, policy constraints, final-state checks, and repeated-trial consistency [ 9 , 10 ] . The strongest future result will not be “the agent sounded expert.” It will be “the system reached the correct state, within budget, under perturbation, with an audit trail and no unauthorized transition.”
