Title: Efficient Agent Evaluation via Diversity-Guided User Simulation

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.21480v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as customer-facing agents, yet evaluating their reliability remains challenging due to stochastic, multi-turn interactions. Current evaluation protocols rely on linear Monte Carlo rollouts of complete agent-user conversations to estimate success. However, this approach is computationally inefficient, repeatedly regenerating identical early prefixes, and often fails to uncover deep failure modes
