Thariq describes separating creation, verification and coordination when assessing a video short. He argues that a separate reviewer may be less lenient toward the creator's output, while using more compute.
- 1A subjective taskA video short is difficult to evaluate with a simple deterministic check.
- 2Review against a rubricThariq suggests a separate agent assess the output and provide feedback.
- 3Separate roles and contextsThe proposed workflow uses distinct creation, verification and coordination roles, at additional compute cost.
Takeaways
- Use an explicit rubric for subjective work such as judging a video short.
- Separate the creating agent from the agent checking the result.
- Separate contexts and additional review use more compute and do not guarantee an unbiased result.

Creation and verification
Thariq explains why he separates agents for a subjective task.
Anthropic's Thariq discusses reviewing a video short, where quality cannot be determined by a simple rule. He suggests giving a separate verification agent a rubric and asking it to assess the work and provide feedback. His concern is that a model checking its own output may be too lenient. Peter Yang describes separate agents for coordination, creation and verification; Thariq notes that separate contexts also use more compute. The approach can add an independent review step, though it does not guarantee an unbiased judgment.
