Beyond Accuracy: Robustness, Cost, and Governance Trade-offs for Vision-Language Models in Templated Document Extraction

The paper evaluates eleven vision‑language models (VLMs) for extracting structured fields from business documents, focusing on robustness, cost, and governance rather than just accuracy. Using a held‑out set of 750 synthetic checks, the study finds that fine‑tuning open‑source VLMs on 3,000 samples yields an F1 score above 0.98, surpassing all zero‑shot commercial systems, while GPT‑5 tops the commercial group and Claude Sonnet 4.5 fails on date extraction. The authors also present a practitioner‑oriented selection framework that maps task profiles—such as quality, latency, governance, and volume—to recommended approaches via filtering and total‑cost minimization, demonstrated on a mid‑volume document‑extraction scenario.

FinExam-10K: When Retrieval Helps Financial Reasoning?

FinExam-10K is a new English benchmark for financial reasoning, comprising 10,198 expert‑reannotated questions covering CFA Levels I‑III and FRM Parts I‑II. The dataset is split into a 5,110‑question release and a 5,088‑question held‑out set for a quarterly leaderboard, with separate Full‑Coverage and Context‑Complete Reasoning tracks. Across 17 models, the best overall accuracy is 85.29 %, but performance drops on harder subsets, and retrieval‑augmented methods like Function‑Graph‑RAG provide modest gains when gated appropriately.

Back to the Future: A workbook time machine for spread sheet creation benchmarks

arXiv:2608. 07873v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce the workbook time machine, a pipeline that automatically creates benchmarks evaluating the ability of language models to create derived objects in spreadsheets (formulas, charts, pivot tables, and conditional formatting).
