τ-bench: Tool-Agent-User Interaction in Real-World Domains — interactive visual explainer | Rudrite Research

Researchers Yao et al. introduced τ-bench, a benchmark for evaluating tool-using AI agents interacting with simulated users, revealing a reliability cliff at pass^k. The benchmark is detailed in a 2024 arXiv paper and is accompanied by a free interactive visual explainer.
