Reddit thread calls for real-world benchmarks for deep research and web fact retrieval
Lucky_Creme_5208 · reddit · 2026-09-26
A Reddit user argues most existing benchmarks are saturated or tested under artificial constraints — e.g. AA Omniscience restricts tool access — even though many users rely on chatbots for information retrieval, deep research, and broad web research.
A few search/retrieval benchmarks exist but lack official leaderboards and haven't been updated in years. The author calls for a 'real environment' benchmark: live internet access, open tool use, and real harnesses like Claude or ChatGPT without restrictions — and asks whether one already exists.
