A new benchmark called PeakBench has been introduced to evaluate the execution capabilities of AI agents, moving beyond simple planning accuracy. This benchmark highlights that agents can correctly identify parallelizable tasks but still fail due to resource limitations during execution. PeakBench separates the evaluation into logical planning and physical scheduling, revealing that even with accurate dependency graphs, models struggle to adhere to resource constraints, leading to crashes. Testing eight different models, including GPT-5 and DeepSeek-V4-Flash, showed varied performance in both logical planning and physical scheduling, with GPT-5 excelling in logical planning but still exhibiting significant capacity violations.
