About this benchmark

What is Terminus?

Terminal-Bench is a benchmark for testing AI agents in real terminal environments, evaluating how well agents can handle real-world, end-to-end tasks autonomously. The benchmark includes tasks spanning coding, system administration, security, data science, model training, file operations, version control, and web development. Terminus is the neutral test-bed agent designed to work with Terminal-Bench, operating purely through tmux sessions without dedicated tools.

Terminus is a text benchmark evaluating models on reasoning, agents, and code tasks. LLM Stats tracks 1 models on this benchmark, scored on a 0–1 scale. The current average is 0.3, with the leader at 0.3.

Compare leaders on the best AI for reasoning, best AI for agents and best AI for code leaderboards.
