Signals: finding the most informative agent traces without LLM judges [R]
Short summary
Signals is a taxonomy-based method for identifying informative agent traces without expensive LLM evaluation. Signal-based sampling achieved 82% informativeness versus 54% for random sampling, delivering 1.52x efficiency. Implementation is available in open-source plano project; paper and authors available for technical discussion.
