SkillsBench: Benchmarking How Well Agent Skills Work Across Diverse TasksNeurIPS 2026
87 expert tasks with deterministic verifiers and paired with/without-skill runs: curated skills lift agent pass rates by +16.6 pp, and focused skills beat exhaustive ones.

ClawsBench: Evaluating Capability and Safety of LLM Productivity Agents in Simulated WorkspacesCOLM 2026
Stateful mock Gmail, Slack, Calendar, Docs, and Drive: top agents succeed on 39-64% of tasks yet take unsafe actions 7-33% of the time.
-
BenchShield: Formal Model-Backed Instrumentation for Reward Integrity in LLM-Agent Evaluation InfrastructurePreprint, 2026
Reward-integrity layer for agent benchmarks: static taint analysis finds hacking paths before a run, and runtime evidence detects hacking at 96% accuracy across 31k+ runs on SkillsBench, ClawsBench, and Terminal-Bench 3.

Rethinking Evaluation for LLM Hallucination Detection: A Desiderata, A New RAG-based Benchmark, New InsightsACL 2026 (Main Conference)
A desiderata for hallucination benchmarks and TRIVIA+, a long-context RAG benchmark with realistic label noise; LLM-as-a-Judge stays competitive.
RL & LLM Reasoning
-
MARS: Margin-Adversarial Risk-controlled Stopping for Parallel LLM Test-time ScalingPreprint, 2026
Stop parallel reasoning early once the majority vote is provably safe: 25-47% fewer self-consistency tokens at full-budget accuracy.
