Long tail: little or no usage data yet.

How much stands behind a tier: usage, who backs it, a confirmed line from its own site or paper, and a clear read on X. High with three of the four, medium with two, low otherwise.

  • no usage data

On X · mixed, low buzz, from 4 posts about TAU-bench in the last month

Small discussion: one researcher reports widespread grading defects in the TAU-banking tasks, while others cite tau-bench's pass^k metric and scoring setup as useful references.

How we got to tier D
  1. Adoption: no usage data. Tier D.
  2. On X: mixed, low buzz. “Small discussion: one researcher reports widespread grading defects in the TAU-banking tasks, while others cite tau-bench's pass^k metric and scoring setup as useful references.” No move.
  3. In curated RL directories: 1 point, a floor of none.
  4. Confirmed: a line from its own site or paper places it.

A clear view on X moves a tier one step up or down; most entries don't move. How tiers work.
