AI agents—AI models that can act independently—are the latest frontier in artificial intelligence, with companies racing to develop the best-performing systems. To help businesses evaluate these agents, Galileo has launched an Agent Leaderboard on Hugging Face, ranking models based on real-world performance.

The leaderboard tracks 17 leading models, including those from Google, OpenAI, Mistral, Anthropic, and Meta. Rankings are based on multiple benchmarking datasets, testing capabilities across industries like retail, airlines, education, and API interactions.

Current rankings:

Google’s Gemini 2.0 Flash holds the top spot, praised for its consistency and cost-effectiveness.

OpenAI’s GPT-4o follows closely but is significantly more expensive.

Other strong performers include Gemini-1.5-Flash, Gemini-1.5-Pro, and OpenAI’s o1 and o3-mini.

Mistral-small-2501 is the top open-source model, ranking in the mid-tier for its long-context handling.

Users can filter results by open-source vs. private models and performance categories to find the best AI agent for their needs. The leaderboard is updated monthly to reflect the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
