ALE is 1,000+ economically meaningful tasks mapped to the US occupational taxonomy across finance, healthcare, legal, engineering, and manufacturing. The hardest tier averages a 2.6% full pass rate. Source: Agents' Last Exam The thesis is explicit: SWE-bench made coding measurable and improvable, ALE wants to do that for the rest of GDP-weighted knowledge work. Pair it with SWE-Marathon and the message is consistent. We measure the easy stuff well and the hard stuff barely at all.
