What is Vending-Bench 2?
Vending-Bench 2 is a benchmark that measures an AI model's ability to run a business over a long period. The model runs a virtual vending machine business for one year starting with a $500 balance, and is scored by its year-end bank balance. It finds suppliers on the internet and places orders by email, and must handle realistic variables such as malicious suppliers, negotiation, delivery delays, and refund requests. There is also Vending-Bench Arena, a multi-agent version that adds competition.
