arXiv:2605.27820v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As AI agents increasingly operate in open, real-world environments, they require a deep synergy of multimodal perception, tool invocation with multi-hop reasoning, and dynamic interaction with users. However, existing benchmarks fail to jointly evaluate these capabilities due to challenges in designing strictly coupled multi-capability tasks, simulating natural and task-constrained user feedback, and ensuring objective evaluation of dynamic interaction. To bridge this gap, we introduce EgoBench, the first interactive multimodal benchmark for tool
The rapid advancement in AI capabilities and increasing deployment of AI agents in complex environments necessitate improved benchmarks for their comprehensive evaluation.
A robust benchmark like EgoBench is crucial for guiding the development of more capable and reliable AI agents, particularly those interacting with users and tools in real-world scenarios.
The introduction of EgoBench provides a more holistic evaluation framework for multimodal, tool-using AI agents, directly addressing prior gaps in assessing their interactive and reasoning capabilities.
