Enterprise environments and training AI agents for real-world workflows
Most agent benchmarks still evaluate a thin slice of the job. The agent receives a task, produces an answer, gets scored, and the episode ends. Enterprise workflows work differently. An underwriting agent may need to read policy documents, inspect customer records, call internal tools, ask a simulated user for missing information, update state, and follow approval rules. A correct final

Milestone-Based Evaluation and Training for Long-Horizon AI Agents
Long-horizon agents are outgrowing pass/fail evaluation. A short task can be scored as one outcome. A longer workflow is different. The agent may plan correctly, navigate to the right place, call the right tool, and still fail during execution. A final failure score does not show which phase broke. Training has the same shape of problem. Reinforcement learning for long-horizon

Agents’ Last Exam: AI Benchmarking for Real Work
At our latest Snorkel AI Reading Group, Yiyou Sun and David (Xinyang) Han (UC Berkeley, Center for Responsible and Decentralized Intelligence) presented Agents’ Last Exam (ALE) — a benchmark designed to evaluate AI agents on long-horizon, economically valuable, real-world tasks with verifiable outcomes. ALE is a collaboration between Berkeley RDI, Snorkel AI, and 300+ expert contributors across 55 professional subfields. ALE asks a deceptively simple question: can
