OpenBlock just secured #2 on Terminal Bench with our frontier coding agent, OB-1.
Our result illustrates how specialized agents built by small teams can outperform the monolithic systems of big labs.
We built OB-1 to mimic how a capable engineer works:
– Persistent memory blocks to track goals, todos, and notes
– Adaptive timeouts that keep the agent moving
– Editable reasoning so it can revise and self-correct
– Direct terminal execution to finish tasks cleanly
Happy to share lessons learned and tips for how small teams can build frontier agents—feel free to reach out.
