Vincent Sunn Chen is a Research Fellow on the founding team at Snorkel AI. His work centers on systems for high quality AI evaluation & data development with experts in the loop. He currently leads the Open Benchmarks Grants, a $3M commitment to funding benchmarks and infrastructure for frontier agents. Prior to Snorkel, Vincent was a researcher at the Stanford AI Lab, where he studied the foundations of data-centric AI systems.

Existing computer-use benchmarks fail to capture the realism, complexity, and long-horizon demands of real-world computer use, limiting their ability to reveal the limita-tions of frontier agents. We introduce OSWORLD 2.0, a benchmark of 108 long-horizoncomputer-use workflows across everyday and professional tasks, designed to capturecomplex and challenging real-world phenomena. Each task represents a realistic end-to-end workflow that takes human users a…


For our third Benchtalks, the series dedicated to the researchers building the measurement toolkits that frontier labs hill-climb on, Snorkel AI co-founder Vincent Sunn Chen sat down with Parth Asawa, a PhD student at UC Berkeley advised by Matei Zaharia and Joey Gonzalez. Parth leads research on continual learning and is the creator of Continual Learning Bench, developed in collaboration…
Recent AI systems have achieved strong results on a wide range of benchmarks, yetthese gains have not translated into economically meaningful deployment acrossmany professional domains. We argue that this gap is largely an evaluation problem:widely used benchmarks lack sustained performance measurement on real andeconomically valuable workflows. This paper introduces Agents’ Last Exam(ALE), a benchmark designed to evaluate AI agents on…


For our second Benchtalks, the series dedicated to the researchers building the measurement toolkits that frontier labs hill-climb on, Snorkel AI co-founder Vincent Sunn Chen sat down with John Yang, a Stanford PhD student and creator of the SWE-bench franchise, SWE-smith, CodeClash, and most recently ProgramBench. Highlights More on ProgramBench: See the benchmark and the upcoming leaderboard at programbench.com. More from John Yang: Publications and writing at john-b-yang.github.io. Snorkel…


Since launching the Open Benchmarks Grants, we’ve received more than 100 applications from academic groups and industry labs spanning a wide range of domains and capabilities. As the best benchmarks drive how the field allocates research effort, the bar for benchmarks has risen as well. Here, we share what’s now table stakes for useful benchmarks, and what separates the ones…


To kick off our inaugural Benchtalks, a series dedicated to the researchers building these measurement toolkits, Snorkel AI co-founder Vincent Sunn Chen sat down with Alex Shaw, Founding MTS at Laude Institute and co-creator of Terminal-Bench and Harbor. Highlights More on Terminal-Bench: See the leaderboard and the catalog of tasks at tbench.ai. Explore Harbor: Learn how to scale your agent…


Today, AI is marked by a growing asymmetry: the excitement around agentic AI is real — backed by quantitative progress on model cards and genuine leaps forward, especially in coding. But ask individuals or enterprises where they feel ready to deploy agentic automation in high-stakes, domain-specific settings outside of coding… and you will find hesitation. The reason: our ability to…


Enterprises must evaluate LLM performance for production deployment. Custom, automated eval + data slices present the best path to production.


When done right, advanced classification applications cultivate business value and automation, unlock new business lines, and reduce costs.
