 - `--num-tests` specifies how many of the tests to run before stopping. This is another way to start gently as you debug your benchmarking setup.
 - `--keywords` filters the tests to run to only the ones whose name match the supplied argument (similar to `pytest -k xxxx`).

+- `--edit-format architect` run in architect mode, which uses two models: one to propose changes and another to implement them
+- `--editor-model` specify the model to use for implementing changes in architect mode
+- `--reasoning-effort` set reasoning effort for models that support it (e.g., "high", "medium", "low")

+### Pausing and Resuming Benchmarks
+
+Benchmarks can take a long time to run. You can pause a running benchmark by pressing `Ctrl+C` once. The benchmark will complete the current test and then save a checkpoint before exiting. To resume the benchmark later, use the `--resume` flag:
+
+```
+# Resume a previously paused benchmark
+./benchmark/benchmark.py YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS--a-helpful-name-for-this-run --resume --model gpt-3.5-turbo --edit-format whole --threads 10
+```
+
+When you resume a benchmark, it will pick up where it left off, using the list of pending tests from the checkpoint file. This allows you to run benchmarks over multiple sessions.

 You can see examples of the benchmark report yaml in the
 [aider leaderboard data files](https://github.com/Aider-AI/aider/blob/main/aider/website/_data/).
 
+### Running benchmarks in architect mode
+
+Architect mode uses two models: a main model that proposes changes and an editor model that implements them. This can be particularly useful for models that are good at reasoning but struggle with precise code edits.
+
+Here's an example of running a benchmark in architect mode:
+
+```
+./benchmark/benchmark.py grook-mini-architect-deepseek-editor --model openrouter/x-ai/grok-3-mini-beta --editor-model openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3-0324 --edit-format architect --threads 15 --exercises-dir polyglot-benchmark --reasoning-effort high
+```
+
+In this example:
+- The main model is Grok-3-mini-beta (via OpenRouter)
+- The editor model is DeepSeek Chat v3 (via OpenRouter)
+- The edit format is set to "architect"
+- Reasoning effort is set to "high"
+- 15 threads are used for parallel processing
+
+When running in architect mode, the benchmark report will include additional information about the editor model used.
