GAIA: General AI Assistants Benchmark(GAIA)

Real-world question benchmark requiring fundamental abilities like reasoning, multi-modality, web browsing, and tool-use proficiency. Conceptually simple for humans yet challenging for AI.

Complexity: highEvaluation and Monitoring

๐ŸŽฏ 30-Second Overview

Pattern: Real-world question benchmark requiring fundamental abilities like reasoning, multi-modality, web browsing, and tool-use proficiency

Why: Conceptually simple for humans yet challenging for AI - tests gap between human (92%) and current best AI (65%) performance

Key Insight: H2O.ai h2oGPTe leads at 65% accuracy, outperforming Google (49%), Microsoft (38%) - first to achieve C-grade on general intelligence

โšก Quick Implementation

1Setup:Install GAIA benchmark framework and configure evaluation environment
2Select:Choose difficulty level (Level 1: <5 steps, Level 2: 5-10 steps, Level 3: up to 50 steps)
3Configure:Enable tool access: web browsing, file handling, multimodal processing
4Evaluate:Run agent on 466 questions requiring reasoning, multimodality, and tool use
5Analyze:Compare performance against human baseline (92%) and current SOTA (65%)
Example: gaia_eval = GAIA(agent=ai_assistant, levels=[1,2,3], tools=[web_browser, file_handler], timeout=3600)

๐Ÿ“‹ Do's & Don'ts

โœ…Test across all three difficulty levels for comprehensive capability assessment
โœ…Enable full tool suite: web browsing, file handling, multimodal understanding
โœ…Focus on real-world tasks requiring multi-step reasoning and coordination
โœ…Validate against human performance baseline of 92% accuracy
โœ…Use development set (166 questions) for model tuning and validation set for final eval
โŒExpect high scores without proper tool integration - GPT-4 achieves only 15%
โŒSkip multimodal components - questions include images and spreadsheets
โŒAttempt brute-force approaches - answers require full task execution
โŒIgnore Level 3 questions - they test advanced long-term planning capabilities
โŒTrain on test questions - answers are withheld to maintain benchmark integrity

๐Ÿšฆ When to Use

Use When

  • โ€ข Evaluating general-purpose AI assistant capabilities
  • โ€ข Testing real-world reasoning and tool use proficiency
  • โ€ข Assessing multimodal understanding and web browsing skills
  • โ€ข Benchmarking against human-level general intelligence
  • โ€ข Research on fundamental AI abilities and limitations

Avoid When

  • โ€ข Domain-specific task evaluation (use specialized benchmarks)
  • โ€ข Simple question-answering without tool requirements
  • โ€ข Performance testing without multimodal capabilities
  • โ€ข Rapid evaluation needs (questions can take up to 50 human steps)
  • โ€ข Systems without web access or file handling capabilities

๐Ÿ“Š Key Metrics
