What is HANDBOOK.md?

HANDBOOK.md is a benchmark for how well a model acts as a general-purpose agent. The official description says: "Official OpenHands-based harness using tasks from the benchmark's early open-source v1 release". Below we describe in simple words what benchmarks of this type generally examine.

What does it test?

HANDBOOK.md measures how well a model acts as a general-purpose agent. In detail, it checks:

  • solving long, multi-step tasks with many intermediate decisions
  • using tools correctly (browsers, terminals, APIs, calendars, other apps)
  • adapting when something unexpected happens mid-task
  • staying on goal over long task horizons instead of wandering off

How to read the score

The score is accuracy: the percentage of tasks answered or solved correctly. 100% means every task was solved perfectly; higher is better.
