Kimi K3 scores 76.5% as of July 2026. ## At a Glance **What it tests:** An agent's ability to select, sequence, and correctly invoke multiple different tools across a multi-step workflow to reach a verified final outcome. **Why it matters:** Real-world agent deployments often require juggling many tools (search, code execution, file systems, APIs). Toolathlon-Verified specifically stresses this multi-tool coordination capability. **Known limitations:** As an emerging benchmark, exact tool inventory and task composition are not yet independently published outside its citation by Moonshot AI. ## What Toolathlon-Verified Measures Toolathlon-Verified evaluates an agent's ability to coordinate multiple distinct tools across a sequential, multi-step workflow, with task outcomes verified programmatically. The "Verified" designation indicates that task setups and success criteria have been validated/corrected, similar to the "Verified" convention used in benchmarks like SWE-Bench Verified and OSWorld-Verified. ## Benchmark Specifications | Field | Value | |---|---| | Task category | Agent / multi-tool workflows | | Metric | % task success | | Saturation | Low | | Created by | Not yet independently documented | ## How Toolathlon-Verified Is Scored Agents complete multi-tool workflows, with final outcomes verified against expected results, producing an aggregate % task success rate. ## State-of-the-Art Results | Rank | Model | Score | Source | Date | |---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | [Kimi K3](/models/moonshot/kimi-k3) | 76.5% | [Kimi K3 technical report](https://www.kimi.com/blog/kimi-k3) | 2026-07 | *Score sourced from Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 announcement, July 2026.* ## Toolathlon-Verified on Benchgen > No Benchgen results yet — [be the first to run Toolathlon-Verified](/benchmarks/platform/toolathlon-verified). ## Toolathlon-Verified vs Other Benchmarks | Benchmark | What it tests | Saturation | |---|---|---| | **Toolathlon-Verified** | Multi-tool, multi-step agentic workflows | Low | | [MCP Atlas](/benchmarks/scale-ai/mcp-atlas) | MCP tool-use agentic workflows | Low | | [MCPMark-Verified](/benchmarks/platform/mcpmark-verified) | MCP protocol tool-use benchmark | Low | | [BFCL v3](/benchmarks/berkeley/bfcl-v3) | Function-calling accuracy | Medium | ## Run Toolathlon-Verified on Your Model Benchgen lets you run Toolathlon-Verified against your own agent harness, tracking multi-tool task success rates as you expand your agent's tool inventory. ## Frequently Asked Questions
