FinFIRST benchmark tests agents on real financial research: source discovery, evidence selection and math
alifcoder · x · 2026-09-05
FinFIRST, a new benchmark built with finance experts, evaluates AI agents on the full workflow of real financial research rather than just final answers.
Using atomic rubrics, it scores both answers and evidence quality across:
- Source discovery and information retrieval
- Evidence selection and reliability judgment
- Multi-source integration
- Timely real-world tasks and calculations
- Verifiability of results
The author calls it a benchmark designed for actual work, and it has drawn notable interest since release.
