C3-Bench
Agents complete multi-task tool use dialogues built to stress tool dependencies, long context dependencies and frequent switches between policy types.
The authors moved C3-Bench to WildToolBench. The maintained board evaluates 57 configurations on 256 sessions. Session accuracy is the headline score.

Gemini-2.0-Thinking (snapshot unspecified) tops the leaderboard with 14.4%
Best score per entry from the benchmark's own leaderboard, read on November 12th, 2026. Where a model ran with several settings or harnesses, we keep its best. Every run is in the next chart. Names in gray aren't in our model list: fine-tunes, agent systems, products and older models. They don't count toward leaders. The best model we track is Claude Sonnet 4, at 12.5%.
Hunyuan-A13B-Instruct leads with 63.5%, claims included
Best score per model from every source, including labs’ own numbers and claims Epoch AI collected from reports and papers. Labs pick their own settings, so a claim can beat an independent run of the same model.
The newest model with a score here came out in August 2025, and nobody has tested a newer one. Among the 20 highest-ranked models on the capability index, these have no score yet:
