Two bugs from the initial run:
1. workspace_files format is [{source, dest}] not {path, content} —
files live in PinchBench's assets/ directory, not tasks/. Now checks
both tasks/ and assets/ directories.
2. LLM judge tasks (writing, research) scored 0% because the judge
wasn't implemented. Now uses codewhale exec as the judge — sends
the rubric + workspace contents and parses a JSON score response.
Also strips ANSI escape codes and control characters from judge output
to prevent JSON parse failures.
Runs PinchBench tasks directly through codewhale exec --auto instead
of going through OpenClaw. Loads task markdown, creates workspace,
runs the prompt, and grades using PinchBench's embedded automated
checks.
No external agent framework dependency — just codewhale + pyyaml.
PinchBench runner now defaults to direct Xiaomi API (no OpenRouter).
Reads API key from ~/.codewhale/config.toml [providers.xiaomi_mimo]
when XIAOMI_MIMO_API_KEY env var is not set. --openrouter flag for
the old OpenRouter path.
PinchBench runner now defaults to openrouter/xiaomi/mimo-v2.5-pro instead
of deepseek/deepseek-chat. Adds --direct-mimo flag for routing through
Xiaomi's API directly (bypasses OpenRouter), with tp-/sk- key type
detection and endpoint mismatch warnings.
Harbor adapter gains --provider CLI flag for MiMo provider routing.
Known issues documented in docs/MIMO_BENCHMARK_ISSUES.md:
- PinchBench model validation requires OpenRouter prefix
- OPENROUTER_API_KEY needed even for some direct-provider paths
- Token Plan vs pay-as-you-go key/endpoint mismatch
- PinchBench runs through OpenClaw, not CodeWhale
Benchmark harness for evaluating CodeWhale against three external
benchmarks:
- SWE-bench: batch driver wrapping existing codewhale swebench commands
- Terminal-Bench: Harbor adapter (BaseInstalledAgent) for container eval
- PinchBench: runner with auto-install for real-world agent tasks
Includes docs/BENCHMARKS.md umbrella doc with setup, usage, and
reproducibility checklist. Scripts record version/commit/timestamp
metadata for each run.
