FDE-Gym: The Last Mile of AI Delivery

We introduce FDE-Gym, a benchmark of 95 end-to-end delivery tasks from 20 customer scenarios across 18 sectors, each adapted by industry experts from real-world delivery projects.

Key points

  • Existing agent benchmarks typically evaluate agents on well-specified tasks defined by issue reports, specifications, or task tickets.
  • Real-world customer delivery is different: forward-deployed engineers (FDEs) must clarify ambiguous requirements, work in live systems, and uncover unstated constraints.
  • In simulated customer environments with scripted stakeholders and modifiable customer systems, agents interact with stakeholders and operate on production-like systems to deliver working solutions.
  • Discovering unstated constraints is the primary bottleneck: performance drops sharply when models must uncover them without explicit guidance.
