# ClawBench Dataset

ClawBench is an open **benchmark** for AI web agents — the systems that drive a real browser to complete a user's task end-to-end. It scores agents on real, everyday online tasks (booking flights, ordering groceries, submitting job applications) across live websites.

## 🚀 What's New

- **[2026.05.12]** Added the **V2 corpus** (130 newer tasks across 63 platforms) and 7 new models judged with `deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro` — see snapshot below. Companion V2 traces released at [`TIGER-Lab/ClawBenchV2Trace`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/TIGER-Lab/ClawBenchV2Trace).
- **[2026.05.04]** Reorganized to the `clawbench-eval` package. Single command for both V1 and V2: `clawbench run --corpus v2 --model <m> --harness hermes`.
- **[2026.04.18]** Published [`NAIL-Group/ClawBenchV1Trace`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/NAIL-Group/ClawBenchV1Trace) — full 5-layer execution traces (recording, actions, HTTP, agent messages, interception) for every V1 run.
- **[2026.04.06]** Paper preprint up: [arXiv:2604.08523](https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.08523) — *Can AI Agents Complete Everyday Online Tasks?*


## 🏆 Leaderboard

Live results — pulled from [`leaderboard/results.csv`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/TIGER-Lab/ClawBench/blob/main/leaderboard/results.csv) in this repo. Filter by corpus (v1 / v2 / all) and submit your model in the interactive Space:

**V2 snapshot — refreshed 2026-05-12** (full scoring logic: [`eval/scoring.md`](https://github.com/TIGER-AI-Lab/ClawBench/blob/main/eval/scoring.md))

| Rank | Model | Harness | Intercepted | Reward | Pass / Total |
|------|-------|---------|-------------|--------|--------------|
| 1 | `claude-opus-4-7` *(partial)* | hermes | **54.7%** | 13.3% | 10 / 75 |
| 2 | `glm-5.1` | hermes | **48.5%** | 18.5% | 24 / 130 |
| 3 | `gpt-5.5` *(partial)* | hermes | **48.1%** | 11.1% | 9 / 81 |
| 4 | `deepseek-v4-pro` | hermes | **43.8%** | 10.0% | 13 / 130 |
| 5 | `openrouter/owl-alpha` | hermes | **14.6%** | 4.6% | 6 / 130 |
| 6 | `deepseek-v4-flash` | hermes | **3.1%** | 1.5% | 2 / 130 |

**Intercepted** (sort key) = fraction whose final HTTP request matched the per-task URL/method schema — Stage 1, deterministic, no judge. **Reward** = additionally requires an LLM judge (default `deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro`) — Stage 2. Rows ranked by Intercepted DESC, Reward as tiebreak. **V2 is Hermes-only**; alternative harnesses are evaluated separately. *Partial* = batch attempted < 130 V2 tasks; rates are over attempted, not over 130..

**Submit a result** → run [`clawbench-eval`](https://pypi.org/project/clawbench-eval/) on your model and open a PR to [`leaderboard/results.csv`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/TIGER-Lab/ClawBench/blob/main/leaderboard/results.csv) — one row per (model × harness × corpus).

## Dataset Structure

### Columns

| Column | Type | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| `task_id` | int | Unique task identifier |
| `instruction` | string | Task prompt sent to the agent |
| `metaclass` | string | High-level category (21 categories) |
| `class` | string | Fine-grained sub-category |
| `platform` | string | Target platform (144 unique platforms) |
| `sites` | list[string] | Domains involved in the task |
| `eval_schema` | string (JSON) | Request interception configuration |
| `time_limit` | int | Maximum time in minutes |
| `extra_info` | string (JSON) | Paths to additional context files |
| `shared_info` | string | Path to shared user profile |

### Additional Files

```
shared/
  alex_green_personal_info.json   # Shared dummy user profile used across all tasks
extra_info/
  004/grocery_list.json           # Task-specific context (32 tasks have extra info)
  007/meal_plan.json
  043/pet_info.json
  ...
```

- **`shared/alex_green_personal_info.json`** — A comprehensive dummy user persona (Alex Green) including personal details, address, work history, education, financial information, and preferences. All tasks share this identity.
- **`extra_info/`** — Task-specific supplementary files referenced by the `extra_info` column. 32 of 153 tasks include additional context such as grocery lists, job links, meeting details, etc.

### eval_schema

The `eval_schema` field configures the **request interceptor** — a mechanism that blocks the final HTTP request matching the specified URL pattern and method, preventing irreversible actions (checkout, form submission, etc.) from reaching the server. This allows safe evaluation on live websites.

```json
{
  "url_pattern": "taskrabbit\\.(com|ca)/(api/v\\d+/jobs|book/\\d+/confirm)",
  "method": "POST"
}
```
