Evaluating Coding Agent Capabilities with Terminal-Bench: Snorkel’s Role in Building the Next Generation Benchmark

Terminal-Bench, developed through a collaboration between Stanford University and Laude Institute, has quickly become the gold standard benchmark for evaluating AI agent capabilities in a command line environment. This comprehensive evaluation framework measures how effectively AI agents can perform complex, real-world tasks within terminal environments. At Snorkel AI, we’re excited to share that we’re one of the top collaborators contributing…

The right tool for the job: An A-Z of rubrics

Rubrics turn fuzzy “good vs. bad” into measurable criteria for GenAI. In Part 2, we map what to measure (granularity and dataset-level vs instance-specific), where to measure (process vs outcome), and how to measure (humans, LLM-as-judge, code, reward models)—with examples like HHH, FLASK, HealthBench, and PaperBench.
