In this report, we present ML-Dev-Bench, a benchmark aimed at testing agentic capabilities on applied Machine Learning development tasks. While existing benchmarks focus on isolated coding tasks or Kaggle-style competitions, ML-Dev-Bench tests agents' ability to handle the full complexity of ML development workflows. The benchmark assesses performance across critical aspects including dataset handling, model training, improving existing models, debugging, and API integration with popular ML tools. We evaluate three agents - ReAct, Openhands, and AIDE - on a diverse set of 30 tasks, providing insights into their strengths and limitations in handling practical ML development challenges. We open source the benchmark for the benefit of the community at \href{https://github.com/ml-dev-bench/ml-dev-bench}{https://github.com/ml-dev-bench/ml-dev-bench}.

FML-bench: A Controlled Study of AI Research Agent Strategies from the Perspective of Search Dynamics
FML-Bench shows a simple greedy hill-climber nearly matches tree search on dense-opportunity tasks while an adaptive agent that broadens search on stagnation outperforms six baselines across 18 tasks.

FML-bench: A Controlled Study of AI Research Agent Strategies from the Perspective of Search Dynamics
FML-Bench shows that a simple greedy hill-climber performs nearly as well as complex tree-search agents on ML research tasks, with an adaptive strategy that switches exploration modes outperforming all tested agents.

RExBench: Can coding agents autonomously implement AI research extensions?
RExBench is a new benchmark showing that LLM coding agents fail to autonomously implement most realistic research extensions to prior AI papers.
