RoboCritics: Enabling Reliable End-to-End LLM Robot Programming through Expert-Informed Critics
End-user robot programming grants users the flexibility to re-task robots in situ, yet it remains challenging for novices due to the need for specialized robotics knowledge. Large Language Models (LLMs) hold the potential to lower the barrier to robot programming by enabling task specification through natural language. However, current LLM-based approaches generate opaque, "black-box" code that is difficult to verify or debug, creating tangible safety and reliability risks in physical systems. We present RoboCritics, an approach that augments LLM-based robot programming with expert-informed motion-level critics. These critics encode robotics expertise to analyze motion-level execution traces for issues such as joint...

SkillOrchestra: Learning to Route Agents via Skill Transfer
Compound AI systems promise capabilities beyond those of individual models, yet their success depends critically on effective orchestration. Existing routing approaches face two limitations: (1) input-level routers make coarse query-level decisions that ignore evolving task requirements; (2) RL-trained orchestrators are expensive to adapt and often suffer from routing collapse, repeatedly invoking one strong but costly option in multi-turn scenarios. We introduce SkillOrchestra, a framework for skill-aware orchestration. Instead of directly learning a routing policy end-to-end, SkillOrchestra learns fine-grained skills from execution experience and models agent-specific competence and cost under those skills. At deployment, the orchestrator infers the skill demands of...

How Tool Discipline Let a 4B Model Outsmart a 235B Giant on Financial Tasks

The Snorkel research team collaborated with the rLLM team at UC Berkeley on the Agentica project, using their open-source rLLM framework to fine-tune Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507, delivering a model that beats Qwen3-235B-A22B on Snorkel AI’s expert-curated financial benchmarks – at 1/60th the size. A full breakdown of the results are published in the rLLM blog here. The key insight? Just focus on…

Coding agents don’t need to be perfect, they need to recover

Error analysis of 8 models on Agentic Coding tasks Successful completion of complex tasks doesn’t come from models being always right. It comes from models being resilient when things go wrong. To get a deeper understanding of model behavior in agentic environments, our team analyzed all of the errors found in the full traces of tasks from our Agentic Coding…

Closing the Evaluation Gap in Agentic AI

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…

CARE: Confounder-Aware Aggregation for Reliable LLM Evaluation
LLM-as-a-judge ensembles are the standard paradigm for scalable evaluation, but their aggregation mechanisms suffer from a fundamental flaw: they implicitly assume that judges provide independent estimates of true quality. However, in practice, LLM judges exhibit correlated errors caused by shared latent confounders -- such as verbosity, stylistic preferences, or training artifacts -- causing standard aggregation rules like majority vote or averaging to provide little gain or even amplify systematic mistakes. To address this, we introduce CARE, a confounder-aware aggregation framework that explicitly models LLM judge scores as arising from both a latent true-quality signal and shared confounding factors. Rather than...

Benchmarking Agents in Insurance Underwriting Environments
As AI agents integrate into enterprise applications, their evaluation demands benchmarks that reflect the complexity of real-world operations. Instead, existing benchmarks overemphasize open-domains such as code, use narrow accuracy metrics, and lack authentic complexity. We present UNDERWRITE, an expert-first, multi-turn insurance underwriting benchmark designed in close collaboration with domain experts to capture real-world enterprise challenges. UNDERWRITE introduces critical realism factors often absent in current benchmarks: proprietary business knowledge, noisy tool interfaces, and imperfect simulated users requiring careful information gathering. Evaluating 13 frontier models, we uncover significant gaps between research lab performance and enterprise readiness: the most accurate models are not...

Terminal-Bench: Benchmarking Agents on Hard, Realistic Tasks in Command Line Interfaces
AI agents may soon become capable of autonomously completing valuable, long horizon tasks in diverse domains. Current benchmarks either do not measure real-world tasks, or are not sufficiently difficult to meaningfully measure frontier models. To this end, we present Terminal-Bench 2.0: a carefully curated hard benchmark composed of 89 tasks in computer terminal environments inspired by problems from real workflows. Each task features a unique environment, human written solution, and comprehensive tests for verification. We show that frontier models and agents score less than 65% on the benchmark and conduct an error analysis to identify areas for model and agent...

Case study
Deploying production AI in <60 days to accelerate claims review 67%

A leading global firm transforming insurance subrogation operations with AI found that manual review processes capped their throughput to ~30% of available claims. This bottleneck left significant revenue on the table and froze their ability to scale. The path to automation was further blocked by severe data imbalances where the critical signals for coverage appeared in only a small fraction of claims, making traditional AI models unreliable.
