Evaluation of model performance on multi-step scientific tool-use tasks using the SciAgentBench Main Results 1.0 dataset, measured by Success Rate (SR) with and without tools, SPL, and domain-specific scores (Physics, Chemistry, Materials, Life Sciences).

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Multi-step Scientific Tool-use |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | SciAgentBench Main Results 1.0 |
| Metric | SR (w/o Tools) |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 19 of 19 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.
