AI is changing the way businesses operate, but making sure AI systems work reliably at scale remains a challenge. Just like other types of software, AI tools used in business must perform accurately and consistently, especially when handling complex tasks. However, it’s not always clear if these models are behaving as expected. To address this, Tech giant IBM (IBM) has been developing benchmarks to help evaluate how AI agents perform in enterprise settings.

In fact, earlier this year, it launched ITBench to measure how well automation tools support IT operations, followed by AssetOpsBench, which focuses on testing AI tools used in asset management. IBM is now working with Kaggle to make these benchmarks more widely accessible. Kaggle is a platform where AI developers compare models, work with datasets, and test performance. With this partnership, the benchmarks will be available as public leaderboards and will allow thousands of engineers and researchers to evaluate how AI models perform on real-world tasks.
These tasks include identifying service issues in cloud systems, predicting system failures, and suggesting solutions. The goal is to create a shared and realistic way to test AI tools, helping developers and companies make better decisions about which systems to use. While the current leaderboards don’t yet cover every detail of live environments, they do provide a starting point for deeper testing. Nonetheless, IBM plans to expand these benchmarks over time and include more advanced evaluations that can help improve how agents operate in real-world business systems.
