passk\mathrm{pass}^k

Why this formula appears here

The empirical warning appears in agent benchmarks. SWE-bench constructs software tasks from real GitHub issues and associated code changes, forcing systems to coordinate edits across repositories rather than complete isolated snippets [ 9 ] . Its scores are informative, but they remain conditional on a particular harness, task filtering, test infrastructure, and contamination controls. The τ\tau -bench work goes further by evaluating tool-using agents against domain rules and final database states. In its reported experiments, leading function-calling agents completed fewer than half of tasks, and consistency over repeated trials deteriorated sharply; the proposed passk\mathrm{pass}^k perspective…
