Full story

The new OmegaUse-OfficeVal benchmark addresses the need to evaluate large language model agents on realistic, long-horizon office workflows. Unlike previous tests, this framework incorporates economic grounding to assess whether agents can complete tasks at a reasonable cost.

The dataset includes 100 distinct tasks derived from real office requests by practitioners. These tasks were adapted using a privacy-preserving process to ensure they reflect genuine professional needs without compromising sensitive data.

On average, completing these tasks requires approximately 2.32 hours of human labor. This metric allows researchers to compare agent performance not just on accuracy, but on the economic value and time savings they provide over manual work.
