Web Bench - A new way to compare AI Browser Agents

Web Bench is a new dataset for evaluating web browsing agents. It consists of 5,750 tasks on 452 different websites. Anthropic Sonnet 3.7 CUA is currently state-of-the-art according to Web Bench. Web Browsing agents such as Skyvern, Browser-use and OpenAI's Operator (CUA) have taken the world by storm. These agents have been used in production for a variety of tasks, from helping people apply to jobs, downloading invoices, and even doing SS4 filings for newly incorporated companies.

Researchers expose hallucination in RAG models

Augmenting LLMs with context leads to improved performance across many applications. Despite much research on Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, an open question is whether errors arise because LLMs fail to utilize the context from retrieval or the context itself is insufficient to answer the query.
