HuggingFace Agent Benchmark

Qwen-14B 93.5% leads since Sep 2023 Dropped

Agents write Python code that calls Hugging Face Transformers tools to solve short tasks. Scores cover tool selection, tools used, and code correctness.

It shipped with Transformers Agents, which Hugging Face later replaced with smolagents.

Qwen-14B leads with 93.5% among models released by Nov 2023

Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.

The newest model with a score here came out in Nov 2023, and nobody has reported a newer one. Among the 20 highest-ranked models on the capability index, these have no score yet:

  1. 1 Qwen-14B 93.5%
  2. 2 Qwen-7B 87%
  3. 3 Qwen-1_8B 85.2%

Number one over time

Lab claims count from the day the card came out, independent runs from the model’s release.

The best score passed 85% in Sep 2023

All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.
