Persistent AI assistants, such as OpenClaw, accumulate large collections of related memories over long-term interactions. As these memories grow, they may reinforce one another, diverge across contexts, or directly conflict, making correct assistance depend on memory relations rather than isolated recall. Existing long-term memory benchmarks do not systematically probe how agents preserve and utilize such relations during downstream tasks. To address this gap, we introduce SubtleMemory, a benchmark for fine-grained relational memory discrimination in long-running AI agents. SubtleMemory constructs relation-controlled latent semantic artifacts whose variants instantiate complementary, nuanced, or contradictory relations, and embeds them into realistic user-agent histories, requiring agents to recover distributed relational structures during later queries and instructions.The benchmark contains 1,522 evaluation instances over 10 long histories, grounded in 1,090 relation-controlled memory-variant sets and spanning user-related and non-user-related queries. Evaluating six standalone memory systems, two Claw-style agents with native memory modules, and three Claw-style agents with plugin memory modules, we find that current systems remain weak on fine-grained relational memory discrimination. We further introduce diagnostic protocols that reveal distinct capability profiles across memory preservation, retrieval, and downstream reasoning stages.

Planning is central to LLM agents: before acting, an agent must decompose goals, select tools, reason over constraints, and decide when a task is infeasible. Yet existing agent evaluations often report only end-to-end success, making it difficult to determine whether failures stem from planning or execution. We introduce Agent Planning Benchmark (APB), a planning-specific diagnostic benchmark with 4,209 multimodal cases across 22 domains and five settings, covering holistic planning, feedback-conditioned step-wise planning, and robustness under extraneous tools, broken tools, and unsolvable tasks. Across 12 MLLMs, APB reveals systematic weaknesses in long-horizon planning, tool-noise robustness, calibrated refusal, and inference-time refinement. We further validate APB on 200 ToolSandbox tasks and 200 𝜏2-bench tasks, where APB-guided refinement consistently improves plan correctness, plan grade, and downstream execution metrics across three representative models. APB thus serves as an upstream diagnostic complement to execution benchmarks. The APB benchmark and code are available in this URL.

Process-level Reward Models (PRMs) are crucial for complex reasoning and decision-making tasks, where each intermediate step plays an important role in the reasoning process. Since language models are prone to various types of errors during the reasoning process, PRMs are required to possess nuanced capabilities for detecting various implicit error types in real-world scenarios. However, current benchmarks primarily focus on step correctness, failing to evaluate PRMs’ performance systematically. To address this gap, we introduce PRMBench, a process-level benchmark specifically designed to assess the fine-grained error detection capabilities of PRMs. PRMBench comprises 6,216 carefully designed problems and 83,456 step-level labels, evaluating models across multiple dimensions, including simplicity, soundness, and sensitivity. In our experiments on 25 models, spanning both open-source PRMs and closed-source large language models prompted as critic models, we uncover significant weaknesses in current PRMs. These findings underscore the challenges inherent in process-level evaluation and highlight key directions for future research, establishing PRMBench as a robust testbed for advancing research on PRM evaluation and development.
