Basic
Complex terminal-based engineering tasks. Models must use command-line tools, navigate filesystems, and debug systems through shell interaction.
Deep
Scores are reported (%, maximum 100); higher is better. BenchGecko collects Terminal Bench scores from Epoch AI and refreshes them daily; the leaderboard on this page shows the current top models.
Expert
Compare models only on the same benchmark version and settings. A benchmark separates models well while scores are spread out; when top models bunch together near the maximum, it stops telling them apart.
Depending on why you're here
- ·coding benchmark (%, maximum 100)
- ·Source: Epoch AI
- ·Useful if your workload is coding
- ·Check the live leaderboard on /benchmark/terminal-bench before choosing a model
- ·Labs cite benchmark results in launch announcements; check the source and version
- ·Terminal Bench is a test of how good an AI is at coding
- ·A higher score means better results on that kind of task
