Pros & cons
Pros
Open-ended task space (3000+ tasks) rather than single objective; bundled internet-scale knowledge base; outstanding-paper recognition at NeurIPS 2022.
Cons
Built on Malmo (older Minecraft interface) — limits transfer to current MC versions; knowledge base quality is web-scrape level.
Claims & capabilities
NeurIPS 2022 outstanding paper; 3000+ tasks; 730K YouTube videos in knowledge base; Voyager (2023) built on MineDojo and Reflexion ideas

- LoCoMo T3
Conversations spanning up to 35 sessions / 300 turns / ~9K tokens, built from LLM-agent personas grounded on temporal event graphs and verified by human annotators. Tests QA (single-hop, multi-hop, temporal, commonsense, adversarial), event-graph summarisation, multimodal dialogue.
- GAIA T3
Benchmark for general AI assistants made of real-world questions that require reasoning, multimodality, web browsing and tool use, with a public leaderboard on Hugging Face. Traction: ~917 likes on the Hugging Face dataset
- LongBench T3
Tsinghua THUDM. 21 datasets across 6 categories (single-doc QA, multi-doc QA, summarisation, few-shot ICL, synthetic, code completion) in English + Chinese. ~6.7K words English / 13.4K chars Chinese average. v2 at ACL 2025 with harder, longer instances.
- LongMemEval T3
5 core memory abilities — info extraction, multi-session reasoning, temporal reasoning, knowledge updates, abstention — via 500 curated questions in synthetic chat histories. Two scales: LongMemEval-S (115K tokens), LongMemEval-M (up to 1.5M).
- RULER T3
NVIDIA. Extends NIAH with multi-needle retrieval, multi-hop entity tracing, aggregation, QA — configurable for arbitrary length / difficulty. Evaluated 17 long-context models on 13 tasks.
- InfiniteBench (∞Bench) T3
Tsinghua / OpenBMB. First benchmark with average input >100K tokens. 12 tasks across English + Chinese: long novel QA, code debugging, math in long context, summarisation, retrieval. Realistic documents (novels, code) rather than synthetic filler.
