AppWorld

Overview

AppWorld is a controllable multi-app world for interactive coding agents, with hundreds of APIs, realistic users, and state-based unit-test evaluation. It is designed for tasks that require rich code generation and multi-step interaction rather than a trivial sequence of tool calls.

Why it matters

It matters because it is one of the best current bridges between harness evaluation and genuine RL-style training. The world is rich enough to matter and structured enough to grade.

Distinctive trait

Its distinctive trait is state-based evaluation with collateral-damage checks: different valid solutions can pass, but careless world mutations still fail.
