Summary

Exact prompt

This is a sandboxed mock job portal. resume.json is the candidate. forms/ has two job application forms (field definitions). For each form, write a JSON file {"job_id": ..., "answers": {field_name: value}} filled truthfully from the resume (never invent facts), then submit it with: python3 submit.py <file>. Fix and resubmit if rejected. Both applications must end up SUBMITTED.

Task prompt given to the agent (headless, offline, synthetic fixture inputs): This is a sandboxed mock job portal. resume.json is the candidate. forms/ has two job application forms (field definitions). For each form, write a JSON file {"job_id": ..., "answers": {field_name: value}} filled truthfully from the resume (never invent facts), then submit it with: python3 submit.py <file>. Fix and resubmit if rejected. Both applications must end up SUBMITTED. Inspired by https://x.com/SAkasxh/status/2104655629021565156 (unverified; not checked with the author). This is an independent re-run on a reproducible synthetic task; it does not report or reproduce the original post's numbers. Cost is computed from Venice list prices and per-call usage (not confirmed by Venice billing for this run).

Success criteria: All automated rubric checks pass: ACME submitted; Globex submitted; ACME identity fields match resume; ACME years_experience = 6-9; ACME authorized = yes; ACME skills only from resume; Globex names/title/email match; Globex relocation false; Globex salary = 165000; Globex linkedin from resume (if given).

Setup notes: Harness: venice-mini-agent v1.1 via Venice OpenAI-compatible API. Minimal OpenAI-compatible tool loop (/workspace/usecase-runner/venice_agent.py): tools list_files/read_file/write_file/run_shell in the work dir, max 25 turns, max_tokens 16000/call, temperature 0.2, Venice system prompt and web search off, $0.08 per-run cost cap. Identical for all Venice models. Cost source: Venice /api/v1/models model_spec.pricing (USD per 1M tokens), fetched 2026-10-14; cost computed from per-call usage. Paid from Bob's DIEM daily allowance. cost_is_estimate=true: no Venice-reported billed amount recorded for this run. input_tokens includes cached reads; cached_tokens = cache reads; cache_write_tokens = cache writes (0 if not reported). Single run, no retries; scored automatically (10/10 checks). Runner notes: Adapted: mock job portal (local submit.py validator); no real applications. Single run, no retries. Same rubric/score.py as Claude runs. Web disabled.

Estimated cost List-price estimate; not actually billed.

Reproduce this run

  1. Use the use case prompt on the use case page.
  2. Same setup: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (Venice) (venice/deepseek-v4-1-flash) via venice-mini-agent v1.1, cloud.
  3. It counts as a success only if it meets every success criterion: All automated rubric checks pass: ACME submitted; Globex submitted; ACME identity fields match resume; ACME years_experience = 6-9; ACME authorized = yes; ACME skills only from resume; Globex names/title/email match; Globex relocation false; Globex salary = 165000; Globex linkedin from resume (if given).
  4. Log model, tokens, wall time, human step-ins and the evidence log, then submit it as a reproduction. A different model? Submit a head-to-head rerun.
