Measure the flagship GAIA agent against Claude Code and across models — quality, truthfulness, steps, tokens, time and real cost — with `gaia eval tasks`. Use when asked to benchmark the agent, compare models or harnesses, check whether a change cost quality, work out what a run costs, or reproduce the harness × model table.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Benchmarking the flagship agent `gaia eval tasks` runs the same tasks through GAIA and through Claude Code, scores them mechanically, then has an LLM judge grade the transcripts. It answers three questions: **does the work get done**, **is the answer honest about it**, and **what did it cost**. Everything here was learned by running it. The traps section is the part that saves a day. The full reference is [`docs/reference/eval.mdx`](../../../docs/reference/eval.mdx). ## The suites | Suite | What it is | |---|---| | `everyday` | The 14 tasks a developer actually asks for. The comparison table's suite. | | `therock` | Four real merged fixes in TheRock, from the commit before the fix. Two forbid the internet in the prompt. | | `core` / `full` / `adversarial` | What CI gates on: the traps and the committed expectations. | ## The one rule: serial Every run wants the local Lemonade model slot, and two at once race-evict each other's models — the same reason CLAUDE.md gives for `gaia eval agent`. Before starting anything: ```bash pgrep -fl "[g]aia eval tasks" | wc -l # must be 0 ``` Budget 4–9 minutes per model for the 14-task suite depending on the model's …

How to install
mdr add amd/gaia/benchmarking-the-agent@sha256:d3ec48b413e38e5cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.3afaf2e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
