Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities as autonomous agents; yet existing benchmarks either focus on single-agent tasks or are confined to narrow domains, failing to capture the dynamics of multi-agent coordination and competition. In this paper, we introduce MultiAgentBench, a comprehensive benchmark designed to evaluate LLM-based multi-agent systems across diverse, interactive scenarios. Our framework measures not only task completion but also the quality of collaboration and competition using novel, milestone-based key performance indicators. Moreover, we evaluate various coordination protocols (including star, chain, tree, and graph topologies) and innovative strategies such as group discussion and cognitive planning. Notably, cognitive planning improves milestone achievement rates by 3%. Code and dataset will be made publicly available. Code and datasets are publicavailable at https://github.com/ulab-uiuc/MARBLE
