LAB is the first long-horizon, open-source legal agent benchmark, from @harvey. it will help legal teams answer “”what can legal agents do today?””, plan deployment, and design human-agent cooperation. autonomous legal is a deep domain, and a good benchmark can accelerate progress

A critical question in agent design is “how do we build agentic workflows so humans are given significant, interesting, or variance-producing decisions as they come up in the work?” A Claude-run company has no source of competitive advantage compared to other Claude-run firms.
