Open benchmarks for agentic analytics.

A curated list of public benchmarks relevant to agentic analytics: text-to-SQL foundations, data-analysis agents, and general agent suites whose methodology transfers. Links go to the paper and the runnable repo where available.

15 benchmarks 3 categories Updated Apr 2026

Text-to-SQL

Translation from natural language to SQL against a known schema. The foundational evaluation surface for analytics agents.

2024 Apache 2.0

Spider 2.0

Yale NLP / Google / industry partners

~600 real-world tasks

Harder successor to Spider. Real enterprise databases with thousands of tables, multi-step agentic workflows, tool use. Current frontier-model scores are under 20% solve rate.

2023 CC BY-SA 4.0

BIRD

HKU / Alibaba / others

12,751 questions · 95 DBs

Large-scale text-to-SQL with noisy real-world data, external knowledge grounding, and efficiency scoring alongside accuracy. Closer to production analytics than Spider.

2023 Apache 2.0

Dr.Spider

AWS Labs

15,269 perturbations

Robustness diagnostics on Spider: perturbs questions, schemas, and databases across 17 axes. Tests whether a model generalises or overfits to Spider surface patterns.

2021 MIT

KaggleDBQA

Microsoft Research

272 questions · 8 real DBs

Small but high-signal: Kaggle databases with natural, unedited schemas and realistic business questions. Exposes the gap between lab-clean Spider and production data.

2019 CC BY-SA 4.0

CoSQL

Yale LILY

3,007 dialogues · 15k questions

Conversational text-to-SQL: multi-turn dialogues with clarification, ambiguity resolution, and context-carrying. Closer to how agents actually interact with users.

2019 CC BY-SA 4.0

SParC

Yale LILY

4,298 question sequences

Sequential context-dependent SQL. Each turn depends on prior turns. Evaluates whether an agent carries investigation state forward, not just single-turn translation.

2018 CC BY-SA 4.0

Spider

Yale LILY / Salesforce

10,181 questions · 200 DBs

The foundational cross-domain text-to-SQL benchmark. 200 databases across 138 domains, split so test databases are unseen at train time. Execution accuracy and exact-match metrics.

2017 BSD 3-Clause

WikiSQL

Salesforce Research

80,654 questions · 24k tables

The original large-scale NL-to-SQL dataset. Single-table queries from Wikipedia, limited operator vocabulary. Largely saturated by modern models but still cited as a baseline.

Agentic data analysis

End-to-end data analysis: the agent receives a question and a dataset and must plan, run code, evaluate, and produce insights.

2024

BEAVER

MIT / Google

93 enterprise questions

Enterprise analytics workflows over real warehouse schemas with many joins, derived columns, and business logic. Designed to expose failure modes that do not show up on Spider-class benchmarks.

2024 MIT

BLADE

University of Washington

12 open-ended datasets

Benchmark for Language models on Data Analysis Expertise. Evaluates decision coverage against a gold set of data-analytic decisions experts would make on the same dataset.

2024 Apache 2.0

DA-Code

Alibaba / THU

500 tasks

Code-generation benchmark for data analysis agents. Tasks span data wrangling, machine learning, and exploratory analysis. Evaluated by executable correctness over tabular data.

2024 Apache 2.0

InsightBench

ServiceNow Research

100 end-to-end datasets

End-to-end data analytics: agents receive a business question and a dataset, must form hypotheses, run analyses, and produce insights. Scored with an LLaMA-3 judge against ground-truth insights.

2024 Apache 2.0

ScienceAgentBench

Ohio State NLP

102 tasks · 44 papers

Data-driven scientific discovery tasks extracted from published papers. Agents write code that reproduces figures and findings. Strong test of end-to-end analytical reasoning.

General agent (analytics-adjacent)

Broader agent benchmarks where methodology or a subset of tasks is directly relevant to agentic analytics.

2024 MIT

τ-bench (Tau-Bench)

Sierra / Anthropic

1,100 tasks · 2 domains

Agents with tool use and user simulation across retail and airline domains. Not analytics-specific, but the agent-framework evaluation methodology transfers directly to analytics agents.

2023 Apache 2.0

AgentBench

Tsinghua KEG

8 environments · 1.4k tasks

Multi-environment agent evaluation including database SQL, web shopping, OS commands, and knowledge graph. The database task aligns closely with agentic analytics workloads.

A domain-specific benchmark, in progress

Alongside tracking the public benchmarks above, we are developing a domain-specific evaluation suite focused on real business analytics workflows: revenue variance decomposition, cohort-level churn analysis, attribution across marketing channels. Work in progress. Once the methodology and reference data are stable and reproducible, it will be listed here like any other benchmark. Until then, the public benchmarks above are the authoritative reference.

If you are running an existing open benchmark against a vendor product and want to contribute results, open an issue or pull request on GitHub.
