Each task includes the environment, a working solution, and an automated check that proves the result is correct.

Responsibilities

• Design expert-level Terminal-Bench tasks that turn real, paid ML inference work from your own experience into challenges an AI agent must solve end to end.

• Define the files, systems and environments each task runs on, such as model serving with streaming, so the challenge is realistic, reproducible and command-line solvable.

• Write a working reference solution for every task and verify it runs end to end, sized for about 60 to 75 minutes of expert effort.
