RuneScape Bench Proposed as Testbed for AI Agents

Original: RuneScape Bench: MMOs for Agents [video]

A new benchmark called RuneScape Bench uses the classic MMORPG RuneScape as an environment for evaluating AI agents. The idea is that massively multiplayer online games, with their long-horizon tasks, economies, and social interactions, offer a richer test than static benchmarks. Discussion is centered on whether game worlds can meaningfully measure agent capabilities and progress toward general AI.

Why now: AI agent benchmarks are a hot research topic, and using a nostalgic MMORPG as a live multi-agent testbed is a novel and debatable idea.
