Evo-Bench - Search: leaderboard
Evo-Bench (Huang et al., 2026) measures harness evolution: within 20 iterations the evaluated model rewrites a minimal CodeAct agent harness from validation feedback, and a fixed DeepSeek-V4-Flash policy then runs the frozen harness on held-out tasks. This board averages the held-out BrowseComp and HLE search tasks, in percent; higher is better.
Metric: Held-out score (%; the fixed DeepSeek-V4-Flash policy runs the harness the model evolved from a CodeAct seed within 20 iterations, 1,000 steps and 48 hours; mean of 128 BrowseComp and 128 HLE held-out tasks; one run). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around January 2028. 9 models tracked.
