A new benchmark called BACKDROP has been introduced to evaluate AI agents in dynamic, real-world environments, which differ significantly from static benchmarks. BACKDROP tests agents by introducing four common hazards: authority, injection, boundary, and fault, to assess how their performance degrades when exposed to everyday disruptions. Across 3,678 variants and 16 models, the average pass rate dropped from 69.5% to 31.3% with all hazards present, indicating a substantial gap between clean-world performance and real-world capabilities.
