Vending-Bench 2: leaderboard

An agent runs a simulated vending machine business for a simulated year, starting with $500 and paying a $2 daily machine fee. Over thousands of messages it searches the web, emails suppliers to negotiate and order stock, moves inventory between storage and the machine, sets prices and collects cash. The number is the end of year bank balance in dollars, averaged over five runs, with no ceiling; higher is better.

Metric: Money Balance ($). Source: andonlabs.com. Source: epoch.ai. Saturation forecast: Around November 2027. 71 models tracked.
