SourceBenchmarking Agentic Workflow Generation

The paper analyzes GPT-4's F1_chain and F1_graph scores binned by the number of nodes and edges in the gold workflow (Figure 3). As workflow complexity increases from 2 to 12+ nodes/edges, both metrics show a general downward trend with occasional brief spikes attributed to uneven sample distribution. The authors conclude that for complex planning tasks with more steps, GPT-4's performance is unsatisfying for both linear and graph planning.

Caveat
The specific per-bin values are shown only in Figure 3 and are not printed as text or table values. The trend is described qualitatively in the text. Occasional spikes are attributed to uneven sample distribution.
