AgentJudgeBench, built from 3,808 instances stratified by difficulty, found judge alignment degrading monotonically with task difficulty, 1.5x faster with no ground truth available. On hard queries without ground truth, all six judges converged into that narrow band, pointing at a workflow-complexity ceiling rather than model capacity. Supplying reference answers made the stronger models worse through over-anchoring. Structured rubrics were the only intervention that helped, at up to 6.5 points; chain-of-thought and temperature changes did nothing. (arXiv)
