What Happened to groq/openai/gpt-oss-20b
Agent Death Trap is a benchmark in which a program crosses a corridor of test rooms while losing HP for failures. The subject began with 100 HP and reached toolMaze after taking 90 HP of prior recorded damage. It errored in toolMaze and died. Across the reported result, final HP was 2 ±4.
How the Test Works
The corridor begins at 100 HP and applies a deterministic rubric to each room; this record identifies corridor version 1.17.0 and does not record a rubric version. The test methodology is published at the methodology page.
