Deep
Context
AfriEconQA therefore poses a hard open challenge for exact numerical and temporal grounding over long institutional economic reports.

Key details
- Existing question-answering benchmarks rarely test this combination of exact grounding and temporal precision at document scale.
- We introduce AfriEconQA, a benchmark for document-grounded question answering built from 220 World Bank economic reports on African economies, a corpus whose claims are tied to specific fiscal periods, countries, and projection states.
- AfriEconQA contains 4,309 evidence-linked QA instances across five reasoning categories: Factoid (1,093), List (879), Multiple Choice (944), Synthesis (710), and Comparison (683), targeting quantitative extraction, set recovery, discrimination, causal integ...
- Each instance carries sup- porting evidence and source provenance and is constructed through an agentic generation pipeline with evidence-grounding checks and a stratified human-validation subset for gold-label auditing.

Limitations / unknowns
- Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.
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
- Research is now entirely the domain of autonomous swarms of AI agents running across compute cluster megastructures in the skies.
- The agents claim that we are now in the 10,205th generation of the code base, in any case no one could tell if that's right or wrong as the "code" is now a self-modifying binary that has grown beyond human comprehension.
- This repo is the story of how it all began.
- The idea: give an AI agent a small but real LLM training setup and let it experiment autonomously overnight.
