HN discussionPeople could try but it would not help with the withheld datasets so much, and it would be possible to add more to it. If the withheld data was closed, and only available to an assessment system, gaming that would be pretty difficult. Scale.com's SEAL Leaderboards take a similar approach. The ARC Prize still exists too, and it's waiting for winners. See https://scale.com/leaderboard

HN discussionAt Scale (scale.com), we strongly believe that the “open-source” alternative to this is pretty critical. We’ve built this index for autonomous driving datasets ( https://scale.com/open-datasets ) and are building that out for other domains right now. Open source data has been a pillar to progress in ML (starting with ImageNet). It should continue to be the case that data that enables researches is sufficiently democ…

HN discussionThanks for the pointer. We do agree that not all agentic systems should be multi-agent. Having said that, from our experience we see that for complex workflows e.g. customer support for enterprises, both quality and maintainability stands to gain when the system is decomposed into smaller scoped agents. We see a parallel of this in humans as well. For instance, when we call into customer support we get routed to dif…
