IDRBench: Benchmarking the Interactive Capabilities of Deep Research Agents

IDRBench is a benchmark designed to evaluate the interactive capabilities of deep research agents that use large language models. It introduces controlled opportunities for clarification within a common workflow, comparing autonomous and interactive trajectories by measuring task‑specific report alignment and interaction cost. Experiments on 100 tasks with seven LLMs show that interaction consistently improves alignment, though its effectiveness varies depending on the agents’ questions and feedback integration.

OS-Marathon: Benchmarking Computer-Use Agents on Vast-Horizon, Repetitive Tasks

OS-Marathon is a new benchmark that tests computer‑use agents on vast‑horizon, repetitive tasks, covering 100 tasks across five scenarios and ten domains. The study shows that current state‑of‑the‑art agents perform poorly on these tasks, and that simply decomposing workflows into subtasks does not solve the problem. Introducing a cost‑friendly personalization method called GraphDemo, which adapts agents from a single human demonstration, improves performance, highlighting the value of human guidance for these challenging tasks.

When Better Turns Do Not Make Better Agents: Diagnosing the Gap Between Next-Turn Metrics and Workflow Success

arXiv:2609.21187v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent models are frequently evaluated one decision at a time, where the model predicts the next action based on the gold interaction history, which is...
