MerchantBench: Benchmarking LLM Agents for Long-Term Coherence in E-Commerce Operations

arXiv:2607. 28956v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model agents are increasingly evaluated as autonomous tool users, yet most benchmarks focus on bounded tasks with immediate success criteria.

E-Commerce Bench: Evaluating LLM Agents on Long-Horizon Autonomous Business Operation

E-Commerce Bench is an open‑source benchmark that simulates a year‑long e‑commerce operation, requiring LLM agents to manage multiple online stores, negotiate with suppliers, optimize sales, fulfill orders, handle returns, and manage cash flow. The environment uses real product and supplier data, a calendar of promotions and shocks, and deterministic customer and negotiation models to enable reproducible evaluation. The study evaluates 18 state‑of‑the‑art models across seven metrics, finding no single model dominates, with GPT‑5.6 Sol achieving the highest year‑end assets but lagging in fraud avoidance and operational efficiency.

Can Agentic Trading Systems Pay for Their Own Intelligence?

arXiv:2607. 10286v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly used in trading systems, where model reasoning, tool use, and continual decisions incur costs that are expected to produce trading value.

ERPBench: Evaluating LLM Agents for Enterprise Decision-Making Across Competitive Market Ecologies

ERPBench is a benchmark that evaluates large language model agents in enterprise decision-making through a six‑round ERP simulation covering pricing, production, procurement, inventory, finance, and market competition. It tests the same 100 problems in two market ecologies—Solo, where agents compete against rule‑based opponents, and Arena, where six agents compete together—producing 1,200 model trajectories across 7,200 decision rounds. Results show that model performance varies by ecology, with DeepSeek best in Solo and Gemini best in Arena, and only 21 of 100 problems yield the same top performer across both settings.

From Economic Agents to Agentic Economies: A Systems Blueprint for Economic World Models

arXiv:2608. 06020v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Economic World Models (EWMs) are generative economic models that simulate how economies evolve from within by modeling heterogeneous agents, their beliefs and actions, and the market and institutional mechanisms through which their interactions produce aggregate outcomes.

Competitive Market Behavior of LLMs

The study investigates how large language models (LLMs) perform in a double auction market, a common economic mechanism. By replacing human participants with LLM agents, the authors find that markets with LLMs converge more slowly or not at all, leading to less efficient resource allocations. Analysis of trading decisions reveals significant variation across model families and roles, and a lexical study of Chain-of-Thought traces links trade execution to a shift from strategic thinking to urgency.
