Artificial Analysis

Independent evaluations across composite intelligence, hard reasoning, science reasoning, and agentic terminal tasks. Multiple boards live under one publisher.

Open artificialanalysis.ai5 boards on this publisher

Tool use

Terminal-Bench 2.1 (archive)

A terminal-oriented evaluation of agents that must use shell tools and complete multi-step tasks in an environment.

Why it matters

It tests the loop around a model: planning, commands, file changes, and validation.

Use it when

You are reproducing older 2.1 results; for current terminal-agent comparisons use the Terminal-Bench 4.0 board.

The limitation

Superseded: Terminal-Bench 3.0 (Jul 2026) and 4.0 (Aug 2026) replaced the task set, so 2.1 scores are not comparable with them. A high score does not guarantee safe behaviour in your repository. Rows here use Artificial Analysis Terminus 2; proprietary agent harnesses on tbench.ai are separate.

Leaderboard snapshot

Terminal-Bench 2.1 (archive) results in a readable view

Use the tabs for the primary score and other published fields from this board. The source link remains authoritative for the live table.

Archive version: Terminal-Bench 2.1 is superseded by 3.0 and 4.0 and is not comparable across task sets. Only three exact public AA headline configurations are retained; the full component data require publisher access.
3 exact matching primary-source observations are ranked in this retained subset. 237 unsupported observations are excluded from ranks, charts and leader claims. Subset ranks are not positions on the complete publisher leaderboard.
