Harbor enables models to tackle real-world Android tasks using capabilities like native and parallel tool calls, provides adapters for agents, templates for extensibility, and built-in sharing support. Developers can now contribute their own tasks or model evaluations, run the benchmark from HarborHub, or access the GitHub repo directly. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is Harbor and how does it relate to Android Bench? Harbor is the new underlying framework and benchmarking harness adopted by Android Bench, replacing the previous baseline harness. It lets models tackle real-world Android development tasks using capabilities like native and parallel tool calls, and provides adapters for agents, extensibility templates, and built-in support for sharing benchmark runs and results. _Developers comparing LLM tools for Android work can track framework changes like this via daily.dev._ ### How can I contribute my own task or model evaluation to Android Bench? Contributions are now described as effortless: developers can submit a task or their own model evaluations through HarborHub or the Android Bench GitHub repository. This community contribution path was introduced alongside the framework upgrade to Harbor and the addition of new models to the leaderboard. _Anyone weighing which LLM to trust for Android coding tasks can follow benchmark updates on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Evolving how LLMs are measured for Android: the next era of Android Bench](https://daily.dev/posts/evolving-how-llms-are-measured-for-android-the-next-era-of-android-bench-tizm6n1fp) · Android Developers Blog · 4 upvotes · 0 comments - [The Complete Guide to Android Bench: How to Choose the Right AI Coding Assistant for Android Development](https://daily.dev/posts/the-complete-guide-to-android-bench-how-to-choose-the-right-ai-coding-assistant-for-android-develop-vixthp4v0) · Medium · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#llm](https://daily.dev/tags/llm), [#android](https://daily.dev/tags/android), [#ai-coding](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-coding) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-in-android-bench-8-new-models-new-framework-and-community-contributions-srj1mopz6) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"What's new in Android Bench: 8 new models, new framework, and community contributions","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-in-android-bench-8-new-models-new-framework-and-community-contributions-srj1mopz6","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-in-android-bench-8-new-models-new-framework-and-community-contributions-srj1mopz6"},"datePublished":"2026-07-09T17:48:02.181Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T08:01:17.858Z","description":"Android Bench has been updated with 8 new models on its leaderboard, a new underlying framework called Harbor, and community contribution support.
