01 / OVERVIEW

Selection overview

4Agents and software

Stateful mobile agents, scientific agents, multi-round review and repository migration move to process-level evaluation.

3Multimodal interaction

Omni output, full-duplex speech and 3D modeling emphasize completeness, timing and gradeability.

2Data at real scale

Ten-million-hour video assets and enterprise corpora push scale and structural consistency toward production reality.

ISSUE INSIGHT

Trend insight

Evaluation keeps moving beyond static answer accuracy toward state, process and execution: stateful mobile tools, auditable scientific evidence, multi-round defect lifecycles and repository migrations all demand verifiable outcomes. The scope also expands to modality completeness, dialogue timing, 3D gradeability and larger, more coherent data assets.

Evaluation is becoming stateful, auditable & executable.

04
BenchmarkCoding Agent / Repository Migration★★★★★

SWE Refactor Bench

Tests whole-repository stack migrations across files, languages, frameworks, platforms and build systems.

AUTHOR
Deyao Hong et al.
INSTITUTION
Navers Lab / Einsia.AI / Tsinghua University
PUBLISHED
2026.08.24
SCALE / DESIGN

20 complete repository migrations across four categories and 520 experimental runs.

EVALUATION / METRICS

Applies Migration Audit, Behavioral Tests and adversarial differential verification in sequence.

KEY RESULT

Only 28 of 520 runs (5.4%) pass all stages.

WHY IT MATTERS

It distinguishes real migration completion from accidental test passes or retained legacy stacks.

DESIGN TAKEAWAYS

Transformation-completeness Gate, Behavioral Equivalence, Adversarial Verifiers.

05
BenchmarkOmni Multimodal / Evaluation★★★★☆

Modality Maturity Index (MMI)

Evaluates omni models across text, image, audio, video and document inputs and outputs.

AUTHOR
Rohit Patel et al.
INSTITUTION
Meta Superintelligence Labs
PUBLISHED
2026.08.26
SCALE / DESIGN

893 human-authored questions with expected output modalities and per-modality rubrics.

EVALUATION / METRICS

MMI Value measures content quality; MPS measures whether every expected modality is present.

WHY IT MATTERS

It separates correct modality delivery from correct content, exposing routing and completeness failures.

DESIGN TAKEAWAYS

Presence vs Correctness, Expected Modality Sets, Per-modality Rubrics.

06
DatasetVideo / Audio / Image Dataset★★★★★

A large open pretraining dataset deriving video-text, audio-text and image-text assets from shared sources.

AUTHOR
Andreas Hochlehnert et al.
INSTITUTION
University of Tübingen et al.
PUBLISHED
2026.08.25
SCALE / DESIGN

1.3B video URLs, 80M downloaded videos and about 10M hours, yielding roughly 55M clips and 300M keyframes.

EVALUATION / METRICS

Validated through video-text, audio-text and image-text retrieval with scaling analyses.

WHY IT MATTERS

It turns a shared source layer into trainable multimodal assets at several granularities.

DESIGN TAKEAWAYS

URL / Downloaded Layers, Scene Detection, Shared-source Derivation, Scale Ablation.

07
BenchmarkEnterprise LLM / Long-context QA★★★★☆

CorporateBench

Generates logically consistent enterprise document networks from evolving knowledge bases for large-corpus QA.

AUTHOR
Sil Hamilton et al.
INSTITUTION
Epiq AI Labs et al.
PUBLISHED
2026.08.27
SCALE / DESIGN

Four synthetic companies from 12 to 10,000 employees; the largest corpus exceeds 230,000 documents.

EVALUATION / METRICS

Tests information extraction and knowledge-base querying as document scale increases.

KEY RESULT

Performance continues to fall as corpora approach real enterprise scale.

WHY IT MATTERS

It makes document scale and temporal consistency first-class variables for enterprise agents and RAG.

DESIGN TAKEAWAYS

Temporal World Models, Consistent Synthetic Corpora, Company-size Scaling Curves.

08
BenchmarkAudio / Full-duplex Dialogue★★★★☆

Standardizes end-of-turn and interruption detection across multiple spoken-dialogue styles.

AUTHOR
Freeman Jiang et al.
INSTITUTION
Sesame
PUBLISHED
2026.08.25
SCALE / DESIGN

30 hours of annotated two-person dialogue, 154 conversations, 106 speakers and six interaction styles.

EVALUATION / METRICS

Measures EOT / interruption recall, false-positive rate and median latency.

WHY IT MATTERS

It makes interaction timing a comparable benchmark dimension for full-duplex voice agents.

DESIGN TAKEAWAYS

Triple Annotation, Style Stratification, Recall-FPR-Latency Axes.

09
Benchmark3D / Hard-surface / Shape-as-Code★★★★☆

Evaluates mechanical image-to-3D and text-to-3D modeling with structured parts, sharp geometry and editable programs.

AUTHOR
Youtian Lin et al.
INSTITUTION
Nanjing University et al.
PUBLISHED
2026.08.26
SCALE / DESIGN

36 hard cases with references, prompts, evaluation specs, provenance and geometric-challenge tags.

EVALUATION / METRICS

Uses a shared rerender rig and blind assembly judge across visual, semantic and geometric metrics.

WHY IT MATTERS

Gradeability specs define single-view limits while separating visual, geometric, structural and execution quality.

DESIGN TAKEAWAYS

Gradeability Specs, Reference Provenance, Shared Rerender Rigs, Geometry Tags.
