Title: VitaBench: Benchmarking LLM Agents with Versatile Interactive Tasks in Real-world Applications
Primary area: datasets and benchmarks
Keywords: llm agent, tool use, multi-turn interaction, real-world application

Abstract: As LLM-based agents are increasingly deployed in real-life scenarios, existing benchmarks fail to capture their inherent complexity of handling extensive information, leveraging diverse resources, and managing dynamic user interactions. To address this gap, we introduce VitaBench, a challenging benchmark that evaluates agents on versatile interactive tasks grounded in real-world settings. Drawing from daily applications in food delivery, in-store consumption, and online travel services, VitaBench presents agents with the most complex life-serving simulation environment to date, comprising 66 tools. Through a framework that eliminates domain-specific policies, we enable flexible composition of these scenarios and tools, yielding 100 cross-scenario tasks (main results) and 300 single scenario tasks. Each task is derived from multiple real user requests and requires agents to reason across temporal and spatial dimensions, proactively clarify ambiguous instructions, and track shifting user intent throughout multi-turn conversations. Moreover, we propose a rubric-based sliding window evaluator, enabling robust assessment of diverse solution pathways in complex environments and stochastic interactions. Our comprehensive evaluation reveals that even the most advanced models achieve only 30% success rate on cross scenario tasks , and less than 50% success rate on single scenario tasks. Overall, we believe VitaBench will serve as a valuable resource for advancing the development of AI agents in practical real-world applications.
