โ ๏ธ 8.4 Reliability & Safety Warning (HITL)
#
Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Protocol:
- Production Deployment: All Agents with < 90% TSR must be monitored by a human operator.
- Safety Guardrails: Use frameworks like Guardrails AI or Llama Guard for sensitive industry deployments (Legal/Health).
- Hallucination Risk: High-reasoning models (o3/R1) may still hallucinate logic in edge cases.
Disclaimer: Benchmarks are conducted monthly using the Open-Agent-Eval suite. Results may vary by region and API tier.
