Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are increasingly deployed in multi-image scenarios requiring complex reasoning across visual contexts. However, current MLLMs remain fundamentally limited by object hallucination-generating plausible yet factually inconsistent descriptions about objects. Existing benchmarks, designed primarily for single-image settings or providing only high-level multi-image assessments, cannot systematically diagnose how visual complexity and reasoning demands trigger hallucination. To address this gap, we introduce MIOH, a fine-grained multi-image object hallucination benchmark that systematically evaluates object hallucination across four foundational tasks (existence, counting, attribute, position) through three multi-image reasoning patterns (comprehensive, comparative, selective) under three controlled adversarial pressures (visual context scale, perceptual difficulty, contextual bias). Through evaluation of 29 models, we reveal that even state-of-the-art systems like GPT-5 and Gemini-2.5-Pro exhibit distinct failure patterns across different reasoning patterns and tasks. Our evaluation reveals that hallucination stems not merely from perceptual failures but from integration-stage limitations when maintaining object representations across multiple images. MIOH provides a controlled framework for analyzing multi-image object hallucination and serves as a critical evaluation tool for developing more reliable multimodal AI systems.
Across industries, machine-learning systems support applications ranging from prediction and anomaly detection to forecasting, optimization, and scheduling, yet operationalizing these systems requires coordinating application development, model pipelines, cloud infrastructure, security, deployment, monitoring, retraining, recovery, and rollback. We present an evidence-gated multi-agent framework for transforming a natural-language MLOps cloud engineering task into a verified repository and operational cloud deployment. The framework combines graph engineering, loop engineering, and agent harness engineering. A stateful Graph Orchestrator coordinates specialized agents for repository generation, review, execution, verification, release, and monitoring while governing workflow dependencies, evidence gates, retry bounds, recovery paths, and termination. Consequential lifecycle transitions proceed only when their required predicates are supported by verifiable execution or runtime evidence. Verification failures activate bounded reflection, repair, and re-verification, while runtime evidence of failure, drift, degradation, or policy violation can trigger bounded adaptation, recovery, or rollback. Agent harness engineering constrains repository generation, review, and repair, artifact execution, and cloud operations through controlled capabilities and isolated execution environments. We realize the framework on Google Cloud Platform and evaluate repository completeness, controlled execution, evidence-gated transitions, cloud promotion, and bounded recovery. Our experimental results show that the framework prevents unsupported lifecycle transitions and drives each run toward either a verified operational deployment or an auditable terminal failure.

Consumer AI apps need to stop making users learn their product architecture.
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Evaluations decouples agent evaluation from the framework you build on. As long as your agent emits OpenTelemetry telemetry, the service can score it, whether you use LangGraph, LlamaIndex, the OpenAI Agents SDK, Google ADK, the Claude Agent SDK, or Strands Agents. This post explains how the framework-agnostic contract works.
