GAIA-Agent practice set: 16 tool-use tasks with verifiable answers
65ac36f verified
Raw History Blame Contribute Delete
40.4 kB
"""Build the practice set: 12 generated-file tasks + 4 live-Wikipedia multi-hop tasks.
.venv/bin/python -m evals.practice.build_practice # (re)write files + tasks.jsonl
.venv/bin/python -m evals.practice.build_practice --audio # also re-synthesize the audio
Every task is original (written for this repo, not taken or paraphrased from GAIA or the
course's 20 questions) and GAIA-Level-1 shaped: one attached file or a 2-hop lookup, a short
exact-match answer, and a trap that punishes the usual agent failure (strict vs non-strict
bounds, missing values treated as zero, per-sheet vs combined totals, a near-miss name, ...).
Gold answers for generated tasks are never typed by hand: each is DERIVED FROM THE FILE ON DISK
after writing it (``derive_gold``), and the generator asserts that the derivation matches the
value it intended. tests/test_evals.py re-derives every one again with independent code.
Wikipedia golds were checked against the live pages on 2026-10-10; each task stores the URL, the
revision id read, and the supporting sentence (see WIKI_TASKS).
Deterministic: fixed seeds, fixed document timestamps. Audio is synthesized with macOS `say`
(voice Samantha) + ffmpeg, so it is only rebuilt with --audio on a Mac; the committed mp3s and
their TTS scripts (stored in each task's ``source``) are the reference.
