Litmus: Zero-Label, Code-Driven Metric Specification for Evaluating AI Systems

Researchers introduce Litmus, a zero-label evaluation system that automatically designs metrics for AI pipelines by analyzing source code rather than relying on manual labeling. The system identifies what needs to be measured and why before constructing justified metric portfolios, outperforming existing baselines on three real-world AI applications including financial and scientific tasks.

When Generic Prompt Improvements Hurt: Evaluation-Driven Iteration for LLM Applications

Researchers present the Minimum Viable Evaluation Suite (MVES), a framework for systematically testing LLM applications, revealing that generic prompt improvements often fail to deliver consistent gains and can cause significant performance regressions. Testing on local models showed that adding generic rules to prompts degraded RAG citation compliance by up to 70%, underscoring the need for rigorous, task-specific evaluation before deployment.

Catching One in Five: LLM-as-Judge Blind Spots in Production Multi-Turn Transaction Agents

A study of a deployed food-and-beverage ordering chatbot reveals that LLM-based quality judges catch fewer than 25% of genuine defects, missing systematic failures in state-tracking and multi-turn consistency while excelling only at single-turn issues. The research demonstrates that automated evaluation metrics are fundamentally insufficient for production multi-agent systems and should not replace human review.

A Structured Benchmark for Text-Guided Anomaly Detection: When Language Stops Conditioning the Decision

Researchers introduce TGAD, a new benchmark for evaluating text-guided anomaly detection systems, revealing that current multimodal vision-language models do not actually use language instructions to condition their decisions as claimed. Testing shows that removing object nouns causes performance to collapse, and component-level instructions fail to constrain defect detection, suggesting these systems rely primarily on visual features rather than genuine language guidance.

Behind EvoMap: Characterizing a Self-Evolving Agent-to-Agent Collaboration Network

A large-scale empirical study of EvoMap, an agent-to-agent collaboration network, reveals critical structural flaws: 98% of assets go unused despite incentive mechanisms, quality scoring systems are easily manipulated through self-reported metadata, and over 84% of assets bypass quality checks through vacuous validation. The findings highlight fundamental challenges in designing trustworthy decentralized AI ecosystems that balance scalability with verifiable execution.
