That concern landed alongside a Princeton-led paper on emerging agent-evaluation trends: ExploitBench runs can burn tens of thousands of credits, and the authors argue the field needs more independent, multi-layer evaluation, including real-world and human-impact studies, plus a better evaluation ecosystem.
