- What happened
- EarthVerse is a benchmark with 405 tasks testing AI agents on Earth-system analysis across 199 documented natural hazard events and 19 hazard families.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers building scientific agents that must integrate heterogeneous data sources, reconcile conflicts, and maintain reasoning chains across complex investigations.
- Watch out
- Best systems reach 84.65% answer accuracy but only 34.81% on strict consistency checks, revealing agents complete steps without maintaining coherent chains across evidence and calculations.
