Evaluation of model performance on solving tasks within the out-of-distribution set of Terminal-Bench 2, focusing on task success rate and average reasoning steps required.

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 | Terminal-based problem solving |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | Terminal-Bench 2 (out-of-distribution) |
| Metric | Task Success Rate |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 12 of 12 |
| 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.

## Metrics

- [Task Success Rate](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/terminal-based-problem-solving-on-terminal-bench-2-out-of-distribution.md?metric=Task%20Success%20Rate>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Average Reasoning Steps](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/terminal-based-problem-solving-on-terminal-bench-2-out-of-distribution.md?metric=Average%20Reasoning%20Steps>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.
