arXiv:2606.12871v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Search Agents (SAs) typically leverage large language models (LLMs) to support complex information-seeking tasks by autonomously exploring web sources and synthesizing information into comprehensive responses.
Key details
- For SAs evaluation, prior benchmarks mainly focus on specialized tasks that are unlikely to arise in real-world user scenarios.
- Moreover, their reliance on coarse task-level rubrics often limits evaluation interpretability.
- To bridge this gap, we introduce DailyReport, an open-ended benchmark to evaluate SA capabilities on daily search tasks.
- It contains 150 open-ended tasks with 3,546 associated rubrics, capturing widely discussed and timely information demands of real-world users.
Results & evidence
- arXiv:2606.12871v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Search Agents (SAs) typically leverage large language models (LLMs) to support complex information-seeking tasks by autonomously exploring web sources and synthesizing information into comprehensive responses.
- It contains 150 open-ended tasks with 3,546 associated rubrics, capturing widely discussed and timely information demands of real-world users.
- Our results on 17 agentic systems show that current systems still fall short of users' expectations.
Limitations / unknowns
- Moreover, their reliance on coarse task-level rubrics often limits evaluation interpretability.
Next-step validation checks
- Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
- Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.
- Track whether independent teams report matching results.

Key details
- Yet most public financial resources reduce the task to plain-text SEC 10-K filings paired with a handful of question-answer items.
- We release LEDGER (Long-context Evaluation of Documents for Grounded Extraction and Retrieval), a corpus of 4,999 digitized corporate annual reports - full documents with figures, tables, and narrative, not just regulatory filings.
- Each report is labeled with 31 consolidated financial KPIs to be extracted and linked to the market's reaction at the earnings date.
- From this data we derive three evaluation benchmarks spanning the difficulty spectrum: a pure page-level KPI retrieval task with TREC-style relevance judgments over 118,048 questions in natural language, a conversational "needle-in-a-haystack" single-value...

Furthermore, the isolation of conversational sessions combined with weak context matching left open whether LLMs truly lack coherence or whether the conditions needed to detect such coherence were not met.

arXiv:2606.12730v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Anticipating LLM behavioral tendencies from low-cost psychometric probes is critical for safe deployment, but only if self-reports (SR) reliably predict behavior.
Key details
- Recent work documented substantial SR-behavior dissociation in LLMs, but relied on broad personality traits (Big 5) that predict specific behaviors weakly, even in humans.
- Furthermore, the isolation of conversational sessions combined with weak context matching left open whether LLMs truly lack coherence or whether the conditions needed to detect such coherence were not met.
- We contrast Big 5 with the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), which measures intention targeted to a specific behavior and predicts human behavior substantially better than broad traits.
- We run experiments across four behavioral tasks and 11 frontier LLMs, while also varying session context and identity induction.
