Is EU-Agent-Bench still meaningful?
Status:New / unproven Checked against the report, 5 November 2026
Verdict
Thin. It is a useful single-turn probe, but nobody maintains it.
Why new / unproven: It is small and single-turn: 600 samples, with only the first tool call checked. Its repository saw its last push in August 2025.[1][1] EU-Agent-Bench, arXiv 2510.21524 Primary[2][2] EU-Agent-Bench repository GitHub Primary

- Several risks still have no good public benchmark
