Swipe the table sideways for more columns.

Ranks follow the score as shown, so equal numbers share a rank. Results as published by tau2-bench; we do not re-run them.

Progress over time

Task success (pass^1), plotted at each model's release date, higher is better. Each model counts once, at its best setting. Scores are today's, not launch day's; 1 model without a known release date is left off. Hover or tap a mark for its model.

Best score so far

Every model at its release date. The line moves each time a new release beats every earlier one, and each new best is named where there is room.

What it measures

Share of banking questions answered from a policy knowledge base tasks completed within policy, averaged over trials.

What it does not measure

Not your policies or customers: the tasks and policies are tau2's own, and the customer is simulated by gpt-5.2.
