**GAGE** is a unified, extensible evaluation framework for large language models, multimodal models, audio models, diffusion models, agents, and game environments. It provides one evaluation engine for datasets, model backends, metrics, arena runtimes, structured outputs, and replayable artifacts.

## Game Arena Showcase

## Why GAGE?

- **Fast evaluation engine**: Run local smoke tests, model-backed jobs, and larger benchmark batches through the same pipeline shape.
- **Unified evaluation surface**: Datasets, backends, role adapters, metrics, and output contracts are configured instead of hand-wired per benchmark.
- **Game and agent sandboxing**: Game Arena, AgentKitV2, AppWorld, SWE-bench-style agent tasks, GUI interaction, and tool-augmented workflows share the same run/output model.
- **External harness integration**: Delegate task-batch benchmarks to Harbor, then import trial evidence back into standard GAGE samples, metrics, reports, and raw artifacts.
- **Replayable GameKit runtime**: Gomoku, Tic-Tac-Toe, Doudizhu, Mahjong, PettingZoo Space Invaders, Retro Mario, and ViZDoom now emit structured arena traces plus `arena_visual` sessions.
- **Operational visibility**: Runs write `summary.json`, sample outputs, logs, visual artifacts, and a static [report pack](docs/guide/run_report_perception.md) so failures can be inspected after the fact.

## Design Overview

> Core design philosophy: everything is a step, everything is configurable.

### Architecture Design



### Orchestration Design



### Game Arena Design



### AgentKitV2 Design



### External Harness Design



## Quick Start

### 1. Installation

```bash
# If you are in the mono-repo root:
cd gage-eval-main

# Python 3.10+ recommended
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

For Game Arena LLM configs, use the `*_openai_gamekit.yaml` variants and export `OPENAI_API_KEY`. The model defaults to `gpt-5.4`; set `GAGE_GAME_ARENA_LLM_MODEL` to override it, or set `OPENAI_API_BASE` for an OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

### 2. Run a Basic Demo

```bash
python run.py \
  --config config/run_configs/demo_echo_run_1.yaml \
  --output-dir runs \
  --run-id demo_echo
```

### 3. View Reports

Default output structure:

```text
runs/<run_id>/
  events.jsonl
  samples.jsonl
  summary.json
  samples/
    <namespace>/
      <sample_id>.json
  report_pack/
    report.html
    report_context.json
    report_context.md
    prompt.txt
    diagnostics.json
    assets_manifest.json
```

Open `runs/<run_id>/report_pack/report.html` for the execution-aware report: primary metrics, key findings, scenario profiles, evidence links, media previews, diagnostics, an
