DeepWeb-Bench: A Deep Research Benchmark Demanding Massive Cross-Source Evidence and Long-Horizon Derivation
DeepWeb-Bench is a new benchmark designed to evaluate deep research capabilities of language models. It emphasizes the need for extensive evidence collection, cross-source reconciliation, and long-horizon reasoning. The benchmark aims to provide clearer insights into model performance and weaknesses compared to existing evaluation methods.
- ▪DeepWeb-Bench introduces a more challenging evaluation framework for frontier language models.
- ▪The benchmark focuses on four capability families: Retrieval, Derivation, Reasoning, and Calibration.
- ▪Evaluation results show that derivation and calibration failures account for over 70% of errors in model performance.
