OSWorld 2.0: Benchmarking Computer Use Agents on Long-Horizon Real-World Tasks
Existing computer-use benchmarks fail to capture the realism, complexity, and long-horizon demands of real-world computer use, limiting their ability to reveal the limita-tions of frontier agents. We introduce OSWORLD 2.0, a benchmark of 108 long-horizoncomputer-use workflows across everyday and professional tasks, designed to capturecomplex and challenging real-world phenomena. Each task represents a realistic end-to-end workflow that takes human users a median of about 1.6 hours to complete andrequires an average of 318 tool calls with Claude Opus 4.7 using maximum thinking,compared with about 30 in OSWORLD 1.0. OSWORLD 2.0 targets challenge phenomenathat are common in real workflows yet underrepresented in...

Benchtalks #3: We taught AI everything except how to learn

For our third Benchtalks, the series dedicated to the researchers building the measurement toolkits that frontier labs hill-climb on, Snorkel AI co-founder Vincent Sunn Chen sat down with Parth Asawa, a PhD student at UC Berkeley advised by Matei Zaharia and Joey Gonzalez. Parth leads research on continual learning and is the creator of Continual Learning Bench, developed in collaboration…

Agents’ Last Exam
Recent AI systems have achieved strong results on a wide range of benchmarks, yetthese gains have not translated into economically meaningful deployment acrossmany professional domains. We argue that this gap is largely an evaluation problem:widely used benchmarks lack sustained performance measurement on real andeconomically valuable workflows. This paper introduces Agents’ Last Exam(ALE), a benchmark designed to evaluate AI agents on long horizon, economicallyvaluable, real world tasks with verifiable outcomes. Developed in collaborationwith 250+ industry experts, ALE covers non-physical industries defined withreference to O*NET / SOC 2018 (the U.S. federal occupational taxonomy). It isorganized around a task taxonomy with 55 sub...

Benchmarks should shape the frontier, not just measure it

Since launching the Open Benchmarks Grants, we’ve received more than 100 applications from academic groups and industry labs spanning a wide range of domains and capabilities. As the best benchmarks drive how the field allocates research effort, the bar for benchmarks has risen as well. Here, we share what’s now table stakes for useful benchmarks, and what separates the ones…

Closing the Evaluation Gap in Agentic AI

Today, AI is marked by a growing asymmetry: the excitement around agentic AI is real — backed by quantitative progress on model cards and genuine leaps forward, especially in coding. But ask individuals or enterprises where they feel ready to deploy agentic automation in high-stakes, domain-specific settings outside of coding… and you will find hesitation. The reason: our ability to…
