What is your guess? Why is GPT-5 shining so much on WorkArena in contrast to other benchmarks? Trust me, this is the last time, we're making a benchmark without a hidden test set.

🚨 Is #WorkArena on the verge of being solved? Or did GPT-5 just get trained on it? 🔥While some benchmarks show modest gains, GPT-5 is crushing WorkArena L2🔥 ➡️ 69.4% avg success vs. ~40% for next best🤯 ➡️ Complex tasks, up to 100 steps, 5–20 min for humans

🔍 What we found: * GPT-4o crushes it on classification * LLaVA-OneVision is best at counting * EarthDial leads in event detection BUT… ❌ Most VLMs fail on: * Temporal reasoning * Non-optical imagery * Dense object scenes

🧪 We built GEOBench-VLM → A task-diverse benchmark for geospatial VLM performance → 31 fine-grained tasks → 8 categories: scene understanding, classification, localization, counting, events, captions, segmentation, and more!

🌍 Why GEOBench-VLM? VLMs like GPT-4o & LLaVA have wowed us on general vision tasks. But how do they perform on geospatial challenges like satellite imagery, temporal reasoning, or dense object scenes? Turns out… we didn’t really know. Until now.

🧵-1 We are thrilled to release #AgentLab, a new open-source package for developing and evaluating web agents. This builds on the new #BrowserGym package which supports 10 different benchmarks, including #WebArena.
AgentLab diagram.

The image describes AgentLab, a framework for efficient parallel experiments with agents. It highlights:

Core Agent Features:

Dynamic Prompting and a Unified LLM API for interacting with large language models.
BrowserGym Platform:

A tool for testing agents on benchmarks like WebArena, WorkArena, MiniWoB, and others.
Key Features:

Reproducibility, a Unified Leaderboard, an analysis tool called Xray, and a Dataset for sharing agent traces.
Blue elements represent AgentLab components.
