Terminal-using agents have quickly become the most popular downstream application of language models (LMs). Despite their prevalence, relatively little academic work has examined RL-based training of these models, likely due to difficult benchmarks, a lack of data, and a lack of simple baseline recipes. We present Tmax, the strongest open RL recipe for terminal agents to date, bringing open data recipes closer to the frontier. While simple, our recipe achieves 27\% on Terminal-Bench 2.0 with only 9B parameters, outperforming much larger models from prior work. Concretely, we generate data using a novel taxonomy, combining difficulty control, personas, and verifier diversification, which allows us to cheaply generate large amounts of terminal environments for RL and SFT training. We open-source our terminal dataset, which is over 2.5x larger than previously released terminal-agent datasets. We then train open-weight models using RL with our data, using a simple, outcome-only recipe. We release our data, models, and code as a strong baseline for future open academic work on terminal agents at https://github.com/hamishivi/tmax.
