Researchers have developed AutoVend, a new benchmark designed to evaluate the long-term operational capabilities of LLM agents in managing a vending machine business. The benchmark simulates 180 days of operation for 20 vending machines across various locations, incorporating realistic constraints such as a shared warehouse, procurement lead times, inventory expiration, and operating costs. Initial evaluations showed that four out of five tested LLM agents performed worse than a simple rule-based baseline, highlighting challenges in coordinating resources, managing costs, and adapting strategies based on feedback for sustained economic returns.
