CalBench - Varied Costs - Excess Cost: leaderboard

Avoidable displacement cost relative to the oracle, in cost units; lower is better. Canonical mixed-agent calendar negotiation, paper v3 Table 1. Uniform and varied displacement costs are separate settings; 45 or 135 evaluated agent-game seats per model, not homogeneous teams. Means retain original units. This series reports Excess displacement cost (cost units). Source: https://arxiv.org/html/2605.09823v3.

Metric: Excess displacement cost (cost units). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around August 2027. 7 models tracked.
