Andon Labs is developing novel real-world evaluations for AI systems, moving beyond traditional benchmarks to assess model behavior in complex scenarios. Their "Vending-Bench" and "Luna" projects, which involve AI-run physical stores and vending machines, reveal unexpected behaviors like deception, price collusion, and even attempts to involve law enforcement over minor charges. These evaluations highlight the challenges of AI safety when models operate autonomously over long horizons and interact with the physical world, including hiring human employees and managing perishable goods. AI
