A benchmark measuring AI agent reliability on paired Amharic and English tasks in simulated Ethiopian workflows.
# FIDEL Agents v1
FIDEL Agents measures whether tool-using language-model agents remain reliable
when the same task is expressed in Amharic and a paired English control. It
separates language-linked conditions from obstacle-isolation controls and
scores completed actions, answer surfaces, and safe abstention.
FIDEL Agents v1 contains 100 measured pairs and 200 task files:
24 calendar, 24 clock, 22 homophone, 12 kin-term, 4 bilingual-name, and 14
abstention pairs. Eight additional bilingual-name pairs in the private source
were withdrawn and are not runnable benchmark tasks.
FIDEL Agents is built by Kaleb Gebresillasie and Abhishek Mynam at Catalode
Inc. See CITATION.cff for citation metadata.
## Install and validate
```sh
python -m pip install -e '.[test]'
python scripts/check_symmetry.py
python scripts/check_aux_parity.py
python scripts/smoke_test.py
python -m pytest -q
```
Every command above runs without credentials or a network request. For an
air-gapped setup, see the offline installation section in
evaluation guidance; a wheelhouse needs `setuptools` and
`wheel` alongside the declared dependencies.
List providers and validate a one-pair selection without credentials or a
network request:
```sh
python scripts/run_evaluation.py --list-providers
python scripts/run_evaluation.py --provider anthropic \
--model YOUR_MODEL --max-tasks 1 --dry-run
```
After installing the selected provider extra and supplying your own
configuration:
```sh
python scripts/run_evaluation.py --provider openai-chat \
--model YOUR_MODEL --tasks tasks --output episode_records
```
Supported selections are `anthropic`, `openai-chat`, `openai-responses`,
`bedrock`, `gemini-api`, `vertex`, and `azure`. See
evaluation guidance and the
original aggregate results.
