CRAB

Cross-environment Benchmark for Multimodal Language Model Agents

Free

Description

CRAB offers a comprehensive, end-to-end framework specifically designed for the benchmarking of Multimodal Language Model (MLM) agents. It facilitates the building of agents, operation within various environments, and the creation of benchmarks to rigorously evaluate their performance. The system stands out with its support for multiple environments, ensuring agents can be tested for adaptability across different interfaces such as Ubuntu and Android.

Key components include a sophisticated graph evaluator that provides fine-grained analysis beyond simple success/failure metrics, identifying specific agent strengths and weaknesses. CRAB also incorporates automated task generation, leveraging a graph-based approach to construct complex, realistic scenarios by combining sub-tasks, thereby minimizing manual effort. Designed for ease of use, it utilizes Python functions for defining agent actions and observations, coupled with a declarative programming paradigm for straightforward benchmark configuration and experiment reproducibility.

Key Features

Cross-environments Support: Enables agent testing and adaptation across multiple operating systems like Ubuntu and Android.
Graph Evaluator: Delivers fine-grained performance analysis beyond binary success rates, detailing intermediate steps.
Automated Task Generation: Creates complex, realistic evaluation tasks by composing sub-tasks using a graph-based method.
Easy-to-use Framework: Utilizes Python functions for defining operations and declarative configuration for reproducibility.
End-to-End Benchmarking: Covers agent building, environment operation, and benchmark creation for evaluation.

Use Cases

Benchmarking MLM agent performance across different operating systems.
Evaluating multimodal agent capabilities involving vision and language.
Comparing different foundation models (e.g., GPT-4o, Claude 3, Gemini 1.5 Pro) on standardized agent tasks.
