DeepResearch Bench II: Diagnosing Deep Research Agents via Rubrics from Expert Reports

Deep Research Bench II is a new benchmark designed to evaluate Deep Research Agents (DRAs) by requiring them to produce research reports for 132 grounded tasks across 22 domains. Each report is assessed using 9,430 fine‑grained binary rubrics that cover information recall, analysis, and presentation, all derived from expert‑written investigative articles through a rigorous LLM‑plus‑human pipeline. Evaluation of current state‑of‑the‑art DRAs shows that even the best models satisfy fewer than 50% of these rubrics, highlighting a significant gap between automated agents and human experts.

\$OneMillion-Bench: How Far are Language Agents from Human Experts?

The paper introduces OneMillion-Bench (OMB), a benchmark comprising 400 expert-curated tasks across Law, Finance, Industry, Healthcare, and Natural Science. OMB evaluates language agents on complex, real-world scenarios that require authoritative source retrieval, conflict resolution, domain-specific rule application, and constraint decision-making. The benchmark uses a rubric-based scoring system assessing factual accuracy, logical coherence, practical feasibility, and professional compliance to differentiate agent performance on expert-level problems.
