[ SLANG ][ AI ][ NOUN ]
A proposed benchmark metric measuring how well an AI agent actually carries out a user's real intent during real-world use β not just whether it technically completes the literal request, filling a gap left by benchmarks that only test development-time behavior.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The benchmark scores looked great, but nobody was tracking the Genie coefficient, whether it actually did what people meant."
LORE & ORIGIN
Introduced by researchers in a July 2026 IEEE Spectrum piece as a play on the economic Gini coefficient, naming a metric meant to track whether agents are getting safer at intent-alignment over time rather than just getting better at scored tasks.
