51% doesn't tell you much by itself. Benchmarks like this are usually not graded on a curve and aren't calibrated so that 100% is the performance level of a qualified human. You could design a superhuman benchmark where 10% was the human level of performance.
replyLooking at https://www.tbench.ai/leaderboard/terminal-bench/2.0, I see that the current best score is 75%, meaning 51% is ⅔ SOTA.
This is interesting, TFA lists Opus at 59. Which is the same as Claude Code with opus on the page you linked here. But it has Droid agent with Opus scoring 69. Which means the CC harness harness loses Opus 10 points on this benchmark.
replyI'm reminded of https://swe-rebench.com/ where Opus actually does better without CC. (Roughly same score but half the cost!)
That score is on par with Gemini 3 Flash but these scores look much more affected by the agent used than the model, from scrolling through the results.
replyGemini 3 Flash is pure rubbish. It can easily get into loop mode and spout information no different than Markov chain and repeat it over and over.
replyTerminalBench is like the worst named benchmark. It has almost nothing to do with terminal, but random tools syntax. Also it's not agentic for most tasks if the model memorized some random tool command line flags.
replyWhat do you mean? It tests whether the model knows the tools and uses them.
replyYeah it's a knowledge benchmark not agentic benchmark.
replyThat's like saying coding benchmarks are about memorizing the language syntax. You have to know what to call when and how. If you get the job done you win.
replyI am saying the opposite. If a coding benchmark just tests the syntax of a esoteric language, it shouldn't be called coding benchmark.
replyFor a benchmark named terminal bench, I would assume it would require some terminal "interaction", not giving the code and command.
