HuggingFace Agent Benchmark
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:
- GPT-6 Astra
- Claude Opus 5.5
- GPT-6.1 Terra
- GPT-6.1 Sol
- and 16 more
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.
Labs dropped it from launch posts once the best score passed 85%
Launch posts from every lab that has listed it, one tick per post. Tall colored ticks include it, and short gray ones leave it out.
| Date | Launch post | Score | As the post writes it |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 Sep 2023 | 93.5 | HuggingFace Agent Benchmark - Run Mode, Tool Selection |
3 system cards report it, from 1 lab
Besides launch posts, we read the system cards, model cards and technical reports labs publish with a release. They report far more, including safety and frontier-risk tests.
