τ³-bench
Fits support agents that must answer from a knowledge base as well as act on a backend, and voice agents. Borrow the banking_knowledge domain pattern (retrieval graded against gold read calls) and the voice evaluation setup with simulated callers.
What it asks the agent to do
- answer a banking customer's question by retrieving the right policy document
- handle airline, retail and telecom support tasks by voice in a full-duplex call
- troubleshoot a telecom issue while guiding the user through device steps
- modify an order or booking under policy

Caveats
Not a separate paper or repo: it is release v1.0.0 (March 2026) of the tau2-bench repo, adding a 97-task banking_knowledge domain, voice, and 75+ task fixes on top of the τ² domains; the grading was patched in 1.0.1 (scores moved up to 9 points), and the later τ-bench 2.0 release (multilingual, intake domain) again changed default simulator and judge models so numbers across releases are not comparable.
