The Open Agent Leaderboard
The Open Agent Leaderboard has been launched to evaluate AI agents based on their full system performance rather than just the underlying models. This new benchmark assesses agents across various tasks and reports both their quality and cost, providing insights into their generality. The initiative aims to foster a better understanding of how well AI agents can adapt to diverse settings without extensive customization.
- ▪The leaderboard measures the performance of full agent systems, not just the models they use.
- ▪It includes six benchmarks that test different types of realistic tasks like coding and customer service.
- ▪The evaluation framework aims to provide a clearer picture of an agent's generality and deployment worthiness.

We built an open evaluation framework to find out. Most evaluations in AI report a simple result: what score each model got on which benchmarking task. When you deploy an agent, you're not just choosing a model. You're choosing a full system: what tools the agent can use, how it plans its steps, what it remembers between actions, how it recovers when something goes wrong.
