HALO-8K dataset tests 10 models across 400 scenarios, revealing over-proactivity in 61.20% of rejections.

Current evaluations of proactive agents lack granular human diagnosis of evidence use and intervention timing. HALO-Arena spans 4 need types in 10 domains and 50 environments. Expert annotations on HALO-8K responses highlight timing and intensity issues as primary failure modes.

Key facts
  • HALO-8K contains 8,000 responses
  • Proprietary models reach 72.88% acceptability
  • Open-source models reach 56.63% acceptability
  • Over-proactivity dominates rejections
  • Covers Dependency, Blockage, Risk, Opportunity needs
