Title: ELT-Bench-Verified: Benchmark Quality Issues Underestimate AI Agent Capabilities

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.29399v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Constructing Extract-Load-Transform (ELT) pipelines is a labor-intensive data engineering task and a high-impact target for AI automation. On ELT-Bench, the first benchmark for end-to-end ELT pipeline construction, AI agents initially showed low success rates, suggesting they lacked practical utility. We revisit these results and identify two factors causing a substantial underestimation of agent capabilities. First, re-evaluating ELT-Bench with up
