WorldBench is a new multilingual benchmark that tests large language model agents on culturally grounded everyday workflows, offering 1,600 tasks in seven languages and eight cultures. The benchmark evaluates agents through structured sandbox actions and introduces Constrained Task Success (CTS), a metric that assesses task completion, minimal modification, and other complementary aspects via deterministic and LLM-as-a-Judge evaluations. Experiments show that even leading models achieve only 49.2% CTS, revealing significant gaps in correctness and state preservation across languages and cultures.

Agentic benchmarks aim to measure how well AI agents plan, search, execute, and recover within realistic multi-tool environments, but they are almost exclusively in English. As AI agents are globally deployed to a linguistically diverse user base, whether agentic competence measured in English transfers to other languages remains an open question.
Despite the growing use of LLM-powered agents to solve multi-step tasks in complex environments, existing benchmarks rarely test state preservation, performance across languages, and application to re...

The paper introduces ${ au}$-bench-LILT, a multilingual extension of the ${ au^3}$-bench benchmark that evaluates conversational agents on realistic tool‑use tasks in German, Korean, Turkish, and Farsi across airline, retail, telecom, and banking domains. It localizes every layer of the benchmark, including culturally appropriate customer databases, native‑language user‑simulator prompts refined by contrastive annotation, and tasks tailored to realistic regional scenarios. Evaluation of eight agent models reveals the most significant performance drops in the Korean and Farsi retail domains, with reductions of up to 61 points in pass^4.
