GAIA (General AI Assistants)

Meta
gated / Overall score: 3.0

GAIA is a benchmark for general AI assistants: 466 real-world questions across three difficulty levels that require reasoning, multimodality, web browsing and tool use. Answers to 300 of them are withheld to power a submission-scored leaderboard, leaving a fully public development split.

No license is stated on GAIA's dataset card, its API metadata, or the paper, and the corpus requires Hugging Face access-gating with a no-resharing condition. Answers to 300 of the questions are held out entirely, which keeps the score gated regardless of the missing license.

    The dataset API reports gating as auto and carries the prompt "To avoid contamination and data leakage, you agree to not reshare this dataset outside of a gated or private repository on the HF hub."; searched cardData and the tags array for a license key or license tag: none.

    The page shows the access gate "You need to agree to share your contact information to access this dataset", and the card reads "Each level is divided into a fully public dev set for validation, and a test set with private answers and metadata".

Adoption

3 high confidence
3.0

Adoption is measured by Hugging Face downloads of gaia-benchmark/GAIA. GAIA remains widely cited across agent-evaluation harnesses, though its download volume has fallen sharply from its peak.

Capability

not assessed

A dataset is not 'capable' the way software or a model is, so capability is left unscored. GAIA is an end-to-end agentic-assistant benchmark: 466 real-world questions across three difficulty levels that require multi-step tool use, live browsing and multimodal files, each graded against one checkable answer.

  • https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.12983 recorded 2026-09-29

    The abstract page is titled "GAIA: a benchmark for General AI Assistants" and reads "we devise 466 questions and their answer. We release our questions while retaining answers to 300 of them to power a leader-board"; searched the body for a leaderboard score table or usage figures: none.
