Accuracy, Stability, and Repeated-Run Reliability of Large Language Models on Deterministic Programming Tasks

A new study reveals that standard single-run accuracy metrics for large language models significantly overstate their real-world reliability on programming tasks, with gaps reaching 17.8 percentage points when measuring consistency across repeated invocations. The research introduces a repeated-run evaluation protocol showing that while popular benchmarks emphasize one-time success rates, deployment environments require stable outputs—a critical distinction that current evaluation standards overlook.

ScientistOne: Towards Human-Level Autonomous Research via Chain-of-Evidence

ScientistOne introduces Chain-of-Evidence, a verifiability framework addressing critical failures in autonomous research systems where AI agents produce plausible-looking but unreliable outputs including fabricated citations, unverified scores, and misaligned methods. The system achieves zero hallucinated references and perfect score verification across five research tasks, significantly outperforming existing baseline systems that exhibit systematic failure rates up to 80%.

More Thinking, More Bias: Length-Driven Position Bias in Reasoning Models

Researchers discovered that reasoning-capable AI models like DeepSeek-R1 exhibit increasing position bias as their reasoning chains grow longer, contradicting assumptions that extended thinking reduces heuristic biases. The effect persists across multiple model sizes and datasets, suggesting that longer reasoning trajectories actually accumulate bias rather than eliminate it, with critical implications for multiple-choice question evaluation.

Beyond Accuracy: Policy Invariance as a Reliability Test for LLM Safety Judges

Researchers demonstrate that LLM-based safety judges for AI agents fail a critical reliability test: they produce inconsistent verdicts based on how evaluation policies are worded rather than what agents actually do. The study reveals that up to 9.1% of safety judgments flip when policies are rewritten with identical meaning, undermining the trustworthiness of current AI safety benchmarks.

SCOPE: Selective Conformal Optimized Pairwise LLM Judging

Researchers introduce SCOPE, a framework that improves LLM-based pairwise evaluation by calibrating confidence thresholds to control error rates. Combined with a new uncertainty metric called Bidirectional Preference Entropy (BPE), the approach achieves reliable judgment quality while accepting significantly more evaluations than existing methods.
