    1 release in the last 90 days, the latest 15 days ago, with 20 contributors on GitHub.

    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Implements a simulation framework to benchmark conversational agents interacting with users and tools across real-world domains.
    • Provides a standardized, gym-compatible environment enabling consistent training, evaluation, and comparison of language model agents.
    • Use for training reinforcement learning agents on multi-domain customer service tasks with standardized train/test splits.
    • Use for interactively playing as agent or user to debug, test strategies, and understand domain policies and tools.
    • Use for submitting and comparing agent performance on a live leaderboard covering airline, retail, and telecom domains.

    Watch-outs

    No watch-outs from GStars' checks.

    General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score

    From the README

    Figure 1: τ²-bench allows users to interact with the agent and the environment

    Figure 2: Trajectory of a conversation between an agent and a user

    τ²-bench now supports RL training with a Gymnasium-compatible interface:

    ⚠️ IMPORTANT FOR BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY: If you are just evaluating an agent (not training), you MUST use the base task split to evaluate on the complete task set that matches the original τ²-bench structure. This ensures your results are comparable to previous evaluations and maintains consistency with the established benchmark. (If you don't specify a task split, it will default to base.)
