Agent Framework Lab - GAIA

The GAIA benchmark can be used for evaluating agents and workflows built using the Agent Framework. It includes built-in benchmarks as well as utilities for running custom evaluations.

Note: This module is part of the consolidated agent-framework-lab package. Install the package with the gaia extra to use this module.

Setup

Install from source with GAIA dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework.git
cd agent-framework/python/packages/lab
pip install -e ".[gaia]"

Set up Hugging Face token:

export HF_TOKEN="hf\*..." # must have access to gaia-benchmark/GAIA

Create an evaluation script

Create a Python script (e.g., run_gaia.py) with the following content:

from agent_framework.lab.gaia import GAIA, Task, Prediction, GAIATelemetryConfig

async def run_task(task: Task) -> Prediction:
    return Prediction(prediction="answer here", messages=[])

async def main() -> None:
    # Optional: Enable telemetry for detailed tracing
    telemetry_config = GAIATelemetryConfig(
        enable_tracing=True,
        trace_to_file=True,
        file_path="gaia_traces.jsonl"
    )

    runner = GAIA(telemetry_config=telemetry_config)
    await runner.run(run_task, level=1, max_n=5, parallel=2)

See the gaia_sample.py for more detail.

Run the evaluation

Run the evaluation script using uv:

uv run python run_gaia.py

By default, the script will first look for cached GAIA data in the data_gaia_hub directory, and download it if not found. The result will be saved to gaia_results_<timestamp>.jsonl.

Don't run the script inside this directory because it will confuse the local agent_framework namespace package with the real one.

View results

We provide a console viewer for reading GAIA results:

uv run gaia_viewer "gaia_results_<timestamp>.jsonl" --detailed
