Neubig: Inadequate Information Gathering Is The Biggest Agent Failure Mode
“So I think actually probably the biggest thing that it fails at is. Or that our agent plus Claude fails at is insufficient information gathering before trying to solve the task, and so if you provide all, if you provide instructions that it should do informati…”
