Researchers have developed a new method called priority ranking to directly evaluate harness optimizers, which are used to create automated agents. Current evaluation methods only look at the final performance of agents, failing to assess the intermediate steps taken by the optimizers. Priority ranking quantifies an optimizer's ability at each step by having it rank components based on their potential impact, without costly rollouts. This new evaluation method has shown a strong correlation with an optimizer's overall ability to improve agents, establishing it as a reliable predictor. AI
