• Why Embeddings Cannot Solve Eval-Set Contamination

  29 Jun, 2026 · 11 min read

  A technical deep dive on why semantic embedding search is useful but insufficient for eval-set decontamination: leakage is about evaluation advantage, not just text similarity.

• Pretraining Contamination: Why Don't Train on the Test Set Became Hard

  29 Jun, 2026 · 14 min read

  A practical introduction to LLM pretraining contamination: why benchmark leakage is not ordinary deduplication, how public evals leak into web-scale corpora, and how layered decontamination pipelines reduce risk.

• How to Arbitrarily Increase the Difficulty of Agent Evaluation Sets

  28 May, 2026 · 18 min read

  A practical framework for making agent benchmarks harder in a controlled way: treat difficulty as trajectory-graph complexity, not prompt wording. Covers deterministic scoring, capability facets, harness effects, and systematic data generation.
