Artificial Analysis
Independent evaluations across composite intelligence, hard reasoning, science reasoning, and agentic terminal tasks. Multiple boards live under one 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Superseded: Terminal-Bench 3.0 (Jul 2026) and 4.0 (Aug 2026) replaced the task set, so 2.1 scores are not comparable with them.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.

Archive version: Terminal-Bench 2.1 is superseded by 3.0 and 4.0 and is not comparable across task sets.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. Exact retained receipts captured 2026-10-01; source/run dates are shown per verified row when known.
