Agentic Coding Benchmark

Terminal-Bench 3.0

Terminal-Bench 3.0 agentic terminal tasks, evaluated with the Claude Code 2.1.207 harness (reasoning effort=max, 400K context, 128K max output), avg@3 over three rollouts per task scored by the task's official verifier. Open-source SOTA for GLM-5.3 per the GLM-5.3 model card.

What is Terminal-Bench 3.0?

Terminal-Bench tests whether a model can operate a computer through a terminal as an agent: it gets a Linux container and has to solve hands-on tasks (installing packages, inspecting files, writing scripts) purely via shell commands within a time limit. The score is the share of tasks completed successfully, averaged over several runs.

What does it test?

Terminal-Bench 3.0 measures how well a model works as an autonomous coding agent. In detail, it checks:

  • planning and executing multi-step shell workflows
  • installing, configuring and debugging software in a container
  • handling timeouts and failing commands
  • finishing the task within the given compute and time budget

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.
