Generative AI systems are increasingly producing real-world artifacts, however their efficacy and validity are often evaluated via context-free LLM-scoring. These judges can be miscalibrated by irrelevant in-context reference examples, creating false confidence and allowing low-quality or harmful outputs to pass evaluation. We study this failure mode as context-induced miscalibration and introduce DA-RAC, a distance-aware reference-anchored calibration method for LLM judges. DA-RAC retrieves semantically and structurally similar labeled anchors for each judgement scenario, weights them by distance, and exposes neighborhood difficulty as a calibration and triage signal. On multi-run LLM-judge evaluation benchmarks, it improves calibration and reduces false-pass risk relative to zero-shot, chain-of-thought evaluation, and static-anchor baselines. Mechanistic analysis shows that judge scores vary systematically with anchor distance, while static references can induce misleading decision boundaries. Thus LLM-judgement requires not only better models, but also calibrated, auditable reference selection, especially when automated evaluation is used to support high-impact AI generated artifacts. Judgments should be grounded in relevant, inspectable, and contestable interpretive artifacts.

Learning effective robot manipulation policies requires diverse, high-quality demonstrations, yet existing data pipelines are often difficult to scale because they rely on specialized hardware, centralized operators, or fixed task suites. We present AXIS, a growable community-driven data engine and benchmark for scalable robot learning, which enables browser-based teleoperation for large-scale demonstration collection, automatically generates and validates new manipulation tasks, and transforms community-collected demonstrations into training-ready data through automated success checking, quality filtering, trajectory smoothing, and visual and physics-based augmentation. The AXIS dataset currently contains 207 diverse tasks and 50K+ trajectories. Meanwhile, AXIS organizes data into task snapshots and evaluates policies with a systematic held-out protocol. We compare vision-language-action (VLA) policies under a unified AXIS evaluation suite and analyze scaling behavior across different data volumes. Continual pretraining on AXIS substantially improves the overall success rate of $\pi_{0.5}$ by 5.8%, outperforms the model pretrained on RoboCasa365 by 37.3%, and exhibits consistent scaling with increasing data volume, with the largest gains observed under layout, sensor-noise, and camera perturbations.
