New benchmark tests AI judges on long computer-use tasks by swapping instructions

AgentHorizon pairs human-recorded trajectories with similar but incompatible instructions, revealing that even the best judge reaches only 80.9% balanced accuracy.

The authors introduce AgentHorizon, a benchmark of 1,373 instruction-trajectory pairs built from 166 hours of human-recorded computer-use sessions across three operating systems.

AgentHorizon is constructed from human-recorded trajectories for pairs of similar instructions.
