Vending-Bench 2 tests longer horizon planning capabilities by evaluating how well AI models can manage a simulated vending machine business over extended periods. The benchmark measures a model's ability to maintain consistent tool usage and decision-making for a full simulated year of operation, driving higher returns without drifting off task.
These are source-reported observations, not independent reruns by this site. Check the task version, evaluation protocol, unit and reporting date before comparing models. Results from different setups are not a universal ranking.
