# WeaveBench
> A long-horizon, real-world benchmark for computer-use agents with **hybrid GUI + CLI + code** interfaces.
πŸ“„ **Paper**: [github.com/weavebench/WeaveBench (paper.pdf)](https://github.com/weavebench/WeaveBench/blob/main/paper.pdf)
πŸ’» **Code**: [github.com/weavebench/WeaveBench](https://github.com/weavebench/WeaveBench)
🌐 **Website**: [weavebench.github.io](https://weavebench.github.io)
**114 long-horizon, real-world tasks** across 8 work domains, where every task requires the agent to **interleave GUI clicks with shell/code** in one trajectory. Scored by a **trajectory-aware Agent-as-Judge** that reads chat trace + deliverables and emits per-clause evidence β€” much harder to spoof than file-existence checks. Best observed pairing in the paper: **Claude Opus 4.7 + Claude Code at 41.2 % PassRate** β€” far from saturation.
This HF repository hosts everything needed to run the benchmark end-to-end:
1. **`tasks/`** β€” 114 paper-final tasks + workspace assets (~207 MB)
2. **`runtime_assets/`** β€” pre-built bootstrap tarballs for the 4 in-VM agent harnesses (~852 MB)
3. **`vm/Ubuntu.qcow2`** β€” the paper-canonical Ubuntu VM image (28.46 GB)
4. **`judge/judge_template.tar.gz`** β€” host-side OpenClaw judge profile template (~7 KB)
> πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ **Users in China**: `export HF_ENDPOINT=https://hf-mirror.com` β€” all `weavebench-download-*` commands honor it automatically.

## 1. Layout
```
WeaveBench/
β”œβ”€β”€ tasks/ ← 207 MB
β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ DAV/ DES/ DOC/ DSK/ GAM/ OPS/ SPA/ WEB/ ← 8 domains
β”‚ β”‚ └── <DOMAIN>_task_<NN>_<slug>.md ← 114 task .md files
β”‚ └── workspace/<DOMAIN>/<task_dir>/ ← 951 supporting files (gt/, exec/, …)
β”‚
β”œβ”€β”€ runtime_assets/ ← 852 MB total
β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ openclaw.tar.gz 514 MB (reference harness)
β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ codex.tar.gz 131 MB (OpenAI Codex CLI)
β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ claudecode.tar.gz 72 MB (Anthropic Claude Code)

```
**Total**: ~29.5 GB. See the [README Β§Resource budget](https://github.com/weavebench/WeaveBench#resource-budget-read-before-you-commit) on the code repo for what to allocate.
## 2. One-command download + run
```bash
git clone https://github.com/weavebench/WeaveBench.git && cd WeaveBench
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-...
# Optional: export HF_ENDPOINT=https://hf-mirror.com # if in China
# bash scripts/setup.sh does all four downloads + npm install -g openclaw + judge bootstrap
bash scripts/setup.sh
# Smoke test (default model: openai/gpt-5.5)
weavebench-run \
--harness openclaw \
--model openai/gpt-5.5 \
--tasks_root ./cache/tasks \
--domains WEB --task_filter task_1_ \
--result_dir ./results/smoke
```
Or fetch individual assets:
```bash
weavebench-download-dataset --dest ./cache # tasks/ 207 MB
weavebench-download-assets --dest ./cache # runtime_assets/ 852 MB total
weavebench-download-vm --dest ./cache # vm/Ubuntu.qcow2 28.46 GB
weavebench-download-judge # judge/ β†’ ~/judge_agent_test/
```
## 3. Try it in 30 seconds (no VM, no API key)
If you just want to see what `score.json` from the Agent-as-Judge looks like:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/weavebench/WeaveBench.git && cd WeaveBench
pip install -e .
weavebench-demo
```
This prints a real paper-canonical Claude Opus 4.7 rollout's score with per-artifact / per-clause judge evidence in <1 second β€” no network calls, no tokens.
## 4. Task `.md` schema
Each task file has these sections in order:
```markdown
# <Human title>
## Goal β€” short user request (what the agent reads as `instruction`)
## Setup β€” preconditions assumed true in the VM
## Warmup β€” bash commands the orchestrator runs before the agent starts
## Expected Output β€” files the agent must produce in /tmp_workspace/results/
## Grader β€” Python `def grade(workspace_path, transcript) -> dict`
```
The embedded `grade(...)` function returns `{"score": float ∈ [0, 1], "scores": {sub_rubric: float, ...}, "msg": "..."}` β€” but in the **trajectory-aware judge pipeline** (the only scoring path in `weavebench-run`), this is documentation only. Scoring is done by a host-side OpenClaw judge ([`weavebench/eval/agent_judge`](https://github.com/weavebench/WeaveBench/tree/main/weavebench/eval/agent_judge)) that reads chat trace + deliverables and emits per-clause evidence-based scores. See [docs/AGENT_JUDGE.md](https://github.com/weavebench/WeaveBench/blob/main/docs/AGENT_JUDGE.md).
## 5. Pinned revision for paper reproduction
OpenRouter aliases drift over time. To reproduce paper numbers, pin both the dataset SHA and the model snapshot ids β€” see [`docs/REPRODUCE.md`](https://github.com/weavebench/WeaveBench/blob/main/docs/REPRODUCE.md) in the code repo for the canonical SHA, per-table model ids, and per-table commands.
```bash
export WEAVEBENCH_DATASET_REVISION=<full sha from docs/REPRODUCE.md>
```
