**DRNoise: Benchmarking Deep Research Agents in Misleading Evidence Environments** finds that deep research agents often latch onto a misleading document instead of reconciling conflicting records. - In these settings, accuracy drops by **66–88 points**. - The benchmark exposes a failure mode where agents fail to cross-check evidence before committing to an answer. - The post suggests that current deep research systems remain fragile under noisy or adversarial evidence.
