Add ResearchClawBench evaluation result
Hi Z.ai team,
This PR adds the ResearchClawBench overall evaluation result for GLM-5.1.
ResearchClawBench is an end-to-end scientific research benchmark for evaluating AI agents and LLMs on tasks that require reading task data and related work, writing and executing code, producing figures, and generating publication-style reports. Final reports are scored against expert checklists derived from human-authored target papers.
The run was executed with ResearchHarness, using tools enabled, code execution, and a file-system workspace. The submitted value is the overall mean score out of 100 over completed ResearchClawBench tasks:
- Model:
GLM-5.1 - Score:
18.19/ 100 - Completed tasks:
40/40 - Run date:
