AutoResearchExam agent research benchmark harness open-sourced with 24-hour timed runs

AlexGDimakis · x · 2026-09-15

Bespoke Labs and Alex Dimakis released the official Terminus harness for AutoResearchExam, built on Harbor, letting researchers run the agent research benchmark with custom harnesses like Claude Code or Codex. Key design: a timed research window (default budget and AUARC horizon of 24 hours) where one agent session can submit many experiments, seeing public validation results and remaining time after each submission while private test results stay outside the agent environment. The repo includes install guides (uv + Docker, 32GB free space per trial), a custom harness guide, and an AUARC script that accepts timestamped scores from any harness.
