Don't Trust Your AI Agents. Test Them Like a Scientist — Stephanie Jarmak, Omni Analytics

Don't Trust Your AI Agents. Test Them Like a Scientist — Stephanie Jarmak, Omni Analytics

Stephanie Jarmak, who moved from astronomy into building coding benchmarks and agent evals, argues that most agent evaluations are easy to misread. She covers how harness choice can swamp model differences, why public benchmarks serve shortlisting rather than decisions, how to design experiment-style evals with realistic tasks, repeated runs, and full traces, and how to set quality gates, manage human review load, verify agent records, and treat production as the final test.

Sourcegraph CTO Beyang Liu discusses the evolution from chat-based coding assistants to autonomous AI agents like AMP. He explains how new models with tool-use and reasoning capabilities are creating a paradigm shift, moving developers from micromanaging AI to instructing it at a high level, dramatically increasing productivity by automating complex coding tasks.
