RESEARCH LEADERBOARD · SEPTEMBER 2026

Same models.
Two ways to solve.

Compare single-pass agents with a DeepAgents harness on real econometric replication tasks.

Single-pass Agent

One code-generation call, followed by execution. No iterative agent loop.

Agent + Harness

DeepAgents plans, uses tools and revises code. Up to 6 model calls, plus final execution.

Agent & Harness leaderboard

Research results · provisional

Locally scored, archived results. Official scorer parity is not yet verified. Different budgets and run protocols mean the lift is descriptive, not an equal-cost comparison.

Every score uses all 1,000 tasks. Unknown and invalid outcomes earn no successes.

02 / HOW TO READ THIS

A comparison you can inspect.

Historical leaderboard ↗

Fixed task set

The same Selected_1000 task IDs and dataset revision are used for every group. Each score is successes ÷ 1,000; failed or unknown tasks stay in the denominator.

Two scoring profiles

Full replication is the local paper metric. The four HF-style metrics reproduce the published descriptions locally; they are not yet verified against the official scorer.

Read lift with the budgets

Baseline: 1 model call. DeepAgents: up to 6 model calls and 4 trial tool calls. Recovery amendments, time limits and run protocols differ; these are not equal-cost causal estimates.

Evidence status & metric definitions

“Metric unknown” means the selected metric cannot be assessed, including failed execution or unavailable outputs. It is different from a task whose final status is unknown. Neither is dropped or counted as a success.

    HF-style counts are checked against archived task flags. Full-replication counts for Sol and Opus come from accepted summaries; the other four models also have per-task local flags. This refresh does not rerun or rescore any experiment.

    Per-run archive files remain frozen, including their original publication metadata. This page is a new display derived from those archives. GPT-5.5 and unarchived experiments are not included in this edition.
