READY or Not: Reliable Enterprise Agent Deployment

RUBRIC DROPOUT: A SIMPLE WAY TO MITIGATE REWARD HACKING IN RUBRIC-AS-REWARD RL
Rubric-based RL can quietly learn to game its reward: the training judge keeps assigning higher scores even as true quality declines. A one-line fix, inspired by neural-network dropout, mitigates the problem at virtually no additional cost.
Introducing READY: What It Takes to Deploy an AI Agent
Today we're introducing READY (Reliable Enterprise Agent Deployment), a suite of industry-specific benchmarks that measure agents the way enterprises actually use them: working alongside people, inside real workflows.
Who Grades the Graders? Rethinking Verifier Design for Computer Use Agents
As Computer Use Agents (CUA) take on complex professional tasks like processing emails, creating spreadsheets, drawing 3D diagrams, and drafting financial memos, verifiers are at the heart of providing evaluation and training signals around their capabilities. Benchmarks like OSWorld 2.0 and Agents' Last Exam use these verifiers, in the form of programmatic checks, to measure whether an agent is capable of completing production-grade work.
CliniCARE-Bench: Clinical AI Agents Can Be Right for the Wrong Reasons
We evaluated 16 agentic systems on 25 clinical care scenarios over 750 real patient cases. Every single system committed to an answer more often than the evidence allowed, and up to one in five correct verdicts rested on an investigation the case authors had explicitly prohibited.
