The AI Evaluation Ecosystem

We develop a simulation architecture that combines rule-based market dynamics with LLM-driven strategic actors, building on advances in Generative Agent-Based Modeling (GABM).

Key points

  • AI evaluation shapes the decisions of model providers, users, funders, and regulators.
  • We argue that designing valid benchmarks requires contextualizing design choices in the dynamics of this ecosystem of actors.
  • We model benchmarks, consumer needs, and provider capabilities as vectors over a six-dimensional capability space (reasoning, coding, knowledge, safety, communication, agentic), with structural information partitions across actors.
  • We find that moving from public benchmarks to private holdout benchmarks shrinks the gap between benchmark scores and user satisfaction on most benchmarks but widens it on a few, depending on where holdout weights shift scoring credit.
