We built a computer use agent once and got it benchmarked at the 2nd position in the biggest benchmark for this field but in the process, we realized one thing, how outdated and inefficient these benchmarks are and how they don't truly capture how these tasks went. So we thought a community led benchmarking arena would be the way to go about. https://coarena.ai/. You just have to put in a task and two side by side windows with hidden models will show up and do the same task and at the end you vote which one did better(or none). We have a leaderboard where we rank all the…

oqoqo▲325Most benchmarks today exist in curated environments and do not translate well to the real world. We built Oqoqo to bridge this gap. Oqoqo makes it super simple to build realistic evals and custom benchmarks for tasks users actually care about. Oqoqo can: - Reliably measure how agent friendly your product surfaces are against Codex, Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes, Pi, Opencode, Cursor, GitHub Copilot - Regression test MCP, CLI, skills, SDK, and any agent facing interface (we are continuously using Oqoqo to dogfood and improve our own MCP/CLI) - Create and share custom benchmarks for how…

Agentplace▲1,015Garry Tan posted a video this week about what he calls 20x companies. The idea is that small teams beat incumbents many times their size by automating everything internally, not just one or two functions. This alpha is real, and I think it is underhyped tbh. But here's the honest part, building agents is hard, expensive and most of the scaffolding we make would be obsolete with a new labs release. at the same time models are not quite there and they are not keeping up with "coding is dead" and "knowledge workers are doomed". Pushing them beyond what they can actually do reliably just boils…

Scored 65.2% vs google's official 47.8%, and the existing top closed source model Junie CLI's 64.3%. Since there are a lot of reports of deliberate cheating on TerminalBench 2.0 lately (https://debugml.github.io/cheating-agents/), I would like to also clarify a few things 1. Absolutely no {agents/skills}.md files were inserted at any point. No cheating mechanisms whatsoever 2. The cli agent was run in leaderboard compliant way (no modification of resources or timeouts) 3. The full terminal bench run was done using the fully open source version of the agent, no…

Bullet▲240Hi HN, excited to be sharing this with you guys today. TL;DR: Bullet is a fast coding agent. At our company, we were burning hours waiting on agent runs. The models weren’t the problem. The agent loops around them were slow (unnecessary planning, oversized context, repeated searches, and serial tool calls). So we built Bullet as a passion project, the goal being to help you iterate faster, without giving up quality: - It automatically selects the model and reasoning level for each prompt. - It runs independent searches, reads, and commands in parallel. - It uses targeted code search instead…

We’re excited to share ML-Dev-Bench, a new open-source benchmark that tests AI agents on real-world ML development tasks. Unlike typical coding challenges or Kaggle-style competitions, our benchmark simulates end-to-end ML workflows including: - Dataset handling and preprocessing - Debugging model and code failures - Implementing new model architectures - Fine-tuning and improving existing models With 30 diverse tasks, ML-Dev-Bench evaluates agents across critical stages of ML development. To complement this, we built Calipers, a framework that provides systematic performance evaluation and…

After training calculator agent via RL, I really wanted to go bigger! So I built RL infrastructure for training long-horizon terminal/coding agents that scales from 2x A100s to 32x H100s (~$1M worth of compute!) Without any training, my 32B agent hit #19 on Terminal-Bench leaderboard, beating Stanford's Terminus-Qwen3-235B-A22! With training... well, too expensive, but I bet the results would be good! *What I did*: - Created a Claude Code-inspired agent (system msg + tools) - Built Docker-isolated GRPO training where each rollout gets its own container - Developed a multi-agent…

we had hundreds of discussions with engineering leaders over the past few months, and everyone's trying to understand where they are in the AI journey. we collected all this data into a benchmark and built a free grader to let you know where you stand. you answer on a 1–5 scale (e.g., autonomy runs from "suggestions only" to "agents own multi-hour workflows across code, infra, and external systems") - takes about 5 minutes. https://agent-benchmarks.com/software-factory/ waiting for your results!

Coding agents don't have long-term memory. But you do have months of full-fidelity agent transcripts stored on your machine. A simple solution that goes a long way: ingest those transcripts and logs into a structured SQLite database, then search them with ranked text match. Everything is fully local and doesn't require anything fancy like a graph database or hosted memory service. This is the idea behind ctx, a Rust CLI that handles the ingestion and searching. We give our agents a skill that tells them to reference past sessions before working in an area. Usually we do this through an…

I built BenchFlow, an open-source framework that lets you integrate and evaluate AI tasks using Docker-based benchmarks. You can try it out right now by cloning the repo and running a benchmark in minutes. As an AI researcher, I was frustrated with how much time my team spent setting up benchmark environments rather than actually improving our models. We'd spend weeks configuring environments, only to find inconsistencies when comparing results with other teams. BenchFlow started as an internal tool to standardize our evaluation process, and we decided to open-source it after seeing how much…

I built a small benchmark to test CLI coding agents on blind bug detection. A challenger agent injects bugs and writes ground truth (`bugs.json`). A different reviewer agent audits the repo without seeing ground truth, and an LLM matcher scores bug-to-finding assignments. Current run: 50 repos, 150 challenges, 450 reviews, 2,603 injected bugs. Weighted detection: Claude 58.05%, Codex 37.84%, Gemini 27.81%. LLM-judge benchmarks are easy to get wrong, so I’d really appreciate critical feedback on benchmark fairness, scoring/matching methodology, and obvious failure modes I’m missing. Full…

τ-Bench is an open benchmark for evaluating AI agents on grounded, multi-turn customer service tasks with verifiable outcomes. It's been great to see the community adopt it since launch — this is now the third iteration. With τ³-Bench, we're extending it to two new settings: knowledge-intensive retrieval and full-duplex voice. τ-Knowledge: agents must navigate ~700 interconnected policy documents to complete multi-step tasks. Best frontier model (GPT-5.2, high reasoning) hits ~25%. The surprising part: even when you hand the model the exact documents it needs, performance only reaches ~40%.…
