  "definition": "GAIA is a benchmark for general AI assistants made of questions that are conceptually simple for people but require several steps of web browsing, file reading, multimodal understanding, and tool use to answer.",
  "description": "Each question has a single short answer, which makes grading exact despite the open-ended process. It contrasts with benchmarks of expert knowledge by testing whether assistants can reliably carry out ordinary multi-step tasks.",
