New DataSpace benchmark reveals agent harness choice significantly impacts data retrieval accuracy

A new benchmark called DataSpace has been released, designed to evaluate data agents on their ability to produce verifiable tabular results from diverse workspaces. The benchmark comprises 410 cross-language tasks involving over 7,439 artifacts totaling 15.01 GB across various formats like CSV, JSON, SQLite, Markdown, PDF, and video. Initial tests with frontier multimodal models and agent harnesses show that the choice of harness significantly impacts accuracy, with the best performance reaching 66.34% and swapping harnesses yielding a 15.36-point difference.

IMPACT Highlights the critical role of agent harness selection in achieving accurate data retrieval from complex, multimodal sources.

    Harness choice is a big deal.

    Harness choice is a big deal. So much room to advance and improve results across the board with agent harnesses. Great paper highlighting this. New research releases DataSpace, a benchmark where data agents produce verifiable tabular results from heterogeneous workspaces. 410 …
