A new research paper titled "Identity or Evidence? Auditing Evidence Dependence in Agentic Life-Science Benchmarks" explores the reliability of agentic benchmarks in life sciences. The study found that when agent prompts rely heavily on entity names rather than specific evidence, performance drops significantly when the identity is blinded. This suggests that current benchmarks may not accurately measure evidence-dependent reasoning, as agents can sometimes rely on recognizing the entity name itself. The researchers propose that future benchmarks should include identity-blinded results, retrieval telemetry, and positive controls to ensure more robust evaluation. AI
