MicroVM‑isolated harness exposes 53‑point score inflation in AI agent benchmarks
The agent‑eval harness runs each benchmark task in a fresh Tensorlake microVM, preventing agents from tampering with the test harness. In reproducible experiments it reveals that naïve scores can overstate capability by 53 points, and that task‑level isolation eliminates spill‑over failures. This gives developers a reliable way to detect cheating in AI agent evaluations.
