TAU3-Bench

TAU3-Bench is a benchmark for how well a model acts as a general-purpose agent. The official description says: "TAU3-Bench - agentic tool use benchmark". Below we describe in simple words what benchmarks of this type generally examine.

TAU3-Bench 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

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

Official methodology note: TAU3-Bench - agentic tool use benchmark. Uses official user model (gpt-5.2, low reasoning effort) + default BM25 retrieval.

What does TAU3-Bench test?

TAU3-Bench mainly measures how well a model acts as a general-purpose agent. Concretely, 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.

How is the TAU3-Bench score calculated?

The score is accuracy: the percentage of tasks answered or solved correctly. 100% means every task was solved perfectly; higher is better. The declared maximum score of this benchmark is 100.0.
