Evaluation
Open benchmarks
Benchmarks built from WebBrain’s real work: the same 100 browser-agent prompts, frozen to one system prompt and tool schema, run against every new model, plus a 100-screenshot vision suite and a compact routing test.
Why it matters
Model launches come with general benchmarks, but a browser agent needs to know one thing: will this model pick the right action on a real page? Freezing the test makes every new model comparable with every old one.
The frozen planner test
100 single-turn Chrome browser-agent prompts, frozen to the May 23, 2026 Claude Sonnet 4.6 system prompt and its 41-tool schema. The runner captures the first response only and does not execute it. Scores: parsed tool calls, strict exact first call, ideal tool name, and agreement with Sonnet’s choice.
A peer-consensus variant scores each model against all the others, with no single judge: DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 leads at 51.8% for $0.050 a replay.
Vision
Each model gets 100 browser screenshots and WebBrain’s six-section vision prompt. MiMo-V2.6-Flash leads the hosted models at 81/100; among tiny models Qwen 3.5 4B scores 55 and WebBrain VL 2 450M scores 44.
Frozen planner test: current leaders
| Model | Sonnet match | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Gemma 4 31B QAT | 77.0% | 0.55 s median |
| Qwen 3.6 27B | 77.0% | |
| MiniMax M2.7 | 77.0% | 23% exact |
| MiniMax M3 | 75.0% | $1.06 a run |
| WebBrain Compass 1.0 | 73.0% | $0.12 a run |
| Ling 3.0 Flash VL | 72.0% | $0.00977 per 100 calls |
Reference-based and consensus scores are not ground truth. First action only: no multi-turn recovery and no executed actions. Results are dated snapshots.
Caveats
- Frozen-table and consensus percentages should not be mixed.
- Latencies from different hosts are not controlled.
