Agent Benchmarking

Learn to measure and compare AI agent performance using standardized benchmarks

Understanding Benchmark Results

Raw benchmark scores tell part of the story, but interpretation reveals insights. A 78% pass rate means nothing without context: Is that good? How does it compare to competitors? What's the cost-performance trade-off? Learn to analyze results holistically and make data-driven improvement decisions.

Key Insights from Results

  • β€’Trade-offs Exist: GPT-4 leads in accuracy but costs 2x more than your agent
  • β€’Your Position: Middle of the pack on accuracy, but fastest and cheapest option
  • β€’Improvement Path: Focus on accuracyβ€”you're 9% behind top performer (GPT-4)
  • β€’Competitive Edge: Your speed and cost advantage could win price-sensitive users

Action Plan Based on Results

Short-Term (1-2 weeks):

Analyze failed test cases to find common error patterns. Focus on top 3 failure categories that account for most errors.

Medium-Term (1-2 months):

Improve prompt engineering and add validation logic. Target 85% pass rate to be competitive with top-tier agents.

Long-Term (3-6 months):

Fine-tune model on domain-specific data. Maintain cost advantage while reaching 90%+ pass rate for market leadership.

Context Matters More Than Rankings

Don't obsess over being #1 on every benchmark. A coding agent doesn't need to beat GPT-4 on general knowledge. Focus on benchmarks your users care about, and optimize for the right trade-offs (accuracy vs cost, speed vs reliability). Being the best fit for your use case beats being the best overall.
