M3-Bench - L1: leaderboard
Evaluates LLM agents' social behaviour in mixed-motive games on M3-Bench (Xie et al., 2026): 24 game-theoretic tasks across four progressive levels, each played against a fixed opponent pool with and without free-form messaging. Scores are the BTA (Behavioral Trajectory Analysis) view: rule-based indicators computed from each agent's logged actions and payoffs, normalised within the task and reported on a 0-100 scale. The scale is normative, so cooperation, fairness and joint payoff efficiency raise it and exploitation lowers it. L1 is the Level 1 average, covering basic-tension games that are two-player, full-information and one-shot, computed over all six Level 1 tasks rather than only the three shown as columns. The paper's RPA (reasoning) and CCA (communication) views are LLM-judge scores of the same episodes and are not included. This series reports M3-Bench - L1 using BTA Score.
