What it means
Also called: trajectory.
A task in which a model works in several steps, such as searching, running code or using a website, rather than giving a single answer. The trajectory is the full record of those steps. Workers write these tasks, carry them out to show the model how, or grade a model's trajectory step by step.
Used in: Agent and RL task roles, often for software engineers.
