A benchmarking harness that runs identical coding tasks across OpenClaw, Nanobot, OpenFang, and other agent frameworks and publishes ranked results

Nanobot hit 34K stars by claiming to be OpenClaw in 4K lines of Python. OpenFang launched a Rust agent OS with 16K stars in 4 days. Developers have no way to compare these frameworks on actual performance, speed, cost, and code quality. Everyone picks based on GitHub stars and vibes. This tool runs identical coding tasks across every major agent framework and publishes reproducible benchmarks with cost, speed, correctness, and token efficiency so developers can pick the right tool.

Gap Assessment

UnderservedExisting solutions leave gaps. Underserved market

2 tools exist (SWE-bench, Aider Leaderboard) but gaps remain: Python only, focused on bug fixing, no multi-framework runner, no cost tracking, no speed metrics; Only tests models through Aider, not competing frameworks, no real-world tasks, synthetic benchmarks only.

Features3 agent-ready prompts

Curated set of 50+ coding tasks (bug fixes, feature adds, refactors) with expected outputs, test suites, and difficulty ratings

▶

Executor that installs each agent framework in a clean Docker container, runs the task suite, and captures outputs with timing and cost

▶

Static site generator that ranks frameworks by pass rate, speed, cost, and code quality and publishes results as a public leaderboard

▶
