Voice agents often fail when users stutter, pause, or interrupt, leading to broken API calls and frustrated users. This benchmark uses real human speech to reveal exactly how top models handle these messy realities. It allows developers to test if their voice systems can actually execute tasks reliably in natural conversation.
