τ-bench: A Benchmark for Tool-Agent-User Interaction in Real-World Domains
arXiv
τ-bench is a benchmark, submitted to arXiv in June 2024, that tests language agents in dynamic conversations with a simulated user, with domain-specific API tools and policy rules, and scores them by database state rather than by the text of their replies.

OSWorld: Benchmarking Multimodal Agents for Open-Ended Tasks in Real Computer Environments
arXiv
OSWorld is a benchmark and environment for testing multimodal agents on 369 real computer tasks in Ubuntu, Windows and macOS; humans complete over 72.36% of the tasks, while the best model reaches only 12.24%.

LiveCodeBench: Holistic and Contamination Free Evaluation of Large Language Models for Code
arXiv
A benchmark for code LLMs that keeps collecting fresh contest problems from LeetCode, AtCoder and CodeForces, so that scores reflect ability rather than memorised test data, and that also tests code repair and execution reasoning.
- 2024
Dolma: an Open Corpus of Three Trillion Tokens for Language Model Pretraining Research
arXiv
Dolma is an openly released English corpus of three trillion tokens, built from web text, papers, code, books, social media and Wikipedia, with a paper documenting both the dataset and the pipeline used to curate it.

Scaling deep learning for materials discovery
Nature
A 2023 Nature paper from researchers at Google DeepMind presenting a scaled-up deep-learning approach to predicting stable crystal structures, screening 2.2 million candidates and reporting a large jump in stability-prediction accuracy.
- 2023
GAIA: a benchmark for General AI Assistants
arXiv
GAIA is a benchmark of real-world questions that are easy for humans but hard for AI assistants, testing reasoning, multimodality, web browsing, and tool use. It compares AI progress against average human performance.
- 2023
SWE-bench: Can Language Models Resolve Real-World GitHub Issues?
arXiv
A benchmark of 2,294 real software engineering problems taken from GitHub issues and the pull requests that resolved them, in which a model must edit a codebase to fix an issue; on release the best model solved under 2% of them.
- 2023
WebArena: A Realistic Web Environment for Building Autonomous Agents
arXiv
WebArena is a reproducible environment of four fully functional websites — e-commerce, a social forum, collaborative software development and content management — built for testing language-guided web agents. Its best GPT-4 agent completed 14.41% of tasks; humans completed 78.24%.[^1]

Toolformer: Language Models Can Teach Themselves to Use Tools
arXiv
A 2023 paper by Schick, Dwivedi-Yu, Dessì and co-authors showing that a language model can teach itself when to call a calculator, search engine, Q&A system, translation system or calendar, and how to use the results.
