Abstract

A benchmark for evaluating LLM agents on economically grounded, long-horizon office-suite tasks.

Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly expected to assist users in completing tasks. However, existing benchmarks provide limited support for evaluating whether agents can carry out office-suite workflows at a reasonable cost. We introduce OmegaUse-OfficeVal, a benchmark for evaluating LLM agents on long-horizon office-suite tasks with task-level economic grounding. The benchmark comprises 100 tasks derived from office-suite requests proposed by practitioners and adapted through a privacy-preserving process. On average, these tasks require 2.32 hours of human labor to complete. An important feature of the benchmark is that each task is paired with two economic signals: human labor time and task price proxy. These signals enable direct comparisons between human costs and LLM inference costs, as well as value-weighted evaluation. To support stable evaluation, we develop code-based verifiers from fine-grained rubrics. We evaluate several frontier LLMs together with a human baseline. Although all evaluated LLMs are substantially cheaper and faster than human workers, they have not yet approached human-level deliverable quality. The code and dataset are fully open-sourced, and more information is available on our project website: https://omegause-officeval.github.io/.

Task funnel 1,715 → 595 → 282 → 100

Practicality filtering and three-expert screening retain only authentic, feasible long-horizon work.

Economic grounding 20 qualified annotators

At least two people complete each task; the mean of the two shortest valid times defines human labor time.

Code-based Verification 2,009 task rubrics

Task rubrics are translated into executable checks and revised until human and code judgments align.

Leaderboard

Quality, time, and cost reveal different model strengths.

Human quality 27.79

Highest overall score, but still far from perfect on these demanding workflows.

Best LLM quality GLM-5.2 · 17.91

The strongest average deliverable score among the evaluated LLMs.

Best LLM value Qwen3.7-Plus

Highest time- and price-weighted LLM scores, at $0.2152 per task.

Fastest runtime DeepSeek-V4-Pro

0.184 hours per task on average.

Primary metric
OmegaUse-OfficeVal leaderboard
Rank

Time- and price-weighted scores weight each task by its annotated human labor time or task price proxy. Human cost is the mean task price proxy; LLM cost is inference expenditure. Time is reported in hours per task.

Analysis

LLMs are much cheaper and faster, but the deliverable-quality gap remains.

Coding Actions vs. Computer-Use Actions on Office-Suite Tasks

Should an office agent work through visual interfaces, manipulate files with code, or combine both? Using K2.6, we compare three CoAct variants across OmegaUse-OfficeVal and OSWorld office-related tasks.

Figure 8. CoAct variants with K2.6 on OmegaUse-OfficeVal and OSWorld office-related tasks. Scores should be compared within each benchmark because their tasks and evaluation protocols differ.

Long-horizon deliverables favor coding. On OmegaUse-OfficeVal, Coding-Only leads at 14.41, Hybrid follows at 13.77, and CUA-Only falls to 0.78.

Visual interaction still matters. On OSWorld office tasks, Hybrid leads at 77.58, ahead of CUA-Only at 68.90 and Coding-Only at 55.62.

Takeaway: there is no single best action mode for every office task. Coding provides reliable file-level execution for long workflows, while computer use remains valuable for visual grounding and application-level interaction. Learning when to route between the two remains an important open problem.

Resources

Paper, dataset, and verification code are openly available.

Reproduce

Evaluate a complete set of office-suite deliverables locally.

1

Prepare

Package task directories named officeval_001 through officeval_100 in a ZIP archive.

2

Evaluate

The CLI validates the archive and runs each verifier in an isolated subprocess.

3

Inspect

Review machine-readable JSON and CSV summaries together with per-task verifier reports.

Quick start

python -m pip install -e .
omegause-officeval --package /absolute/path/to/submission.zip

Platform note

Ninety-one verifiers run in normal cross-platform mode. Nine designated verifiers require Microsoft Office COM on Windows; in automatic mode they are skipped on macOS and Linux.

FAQ

Common equations and evaluation details.

Why attach economic signals to every task?

Human labor time and task price proxy enable human-versus-LLM cost comparisons and value-weighted evaluation.

Does the benchmark require a particular agent interface?

No. Evaluation targets final deliverables, so agents may use GUI actions, scripts, APIs, or hybrid workflows.

How is scoring stabilized?

Fine-grained rubrics are converted into executable checks and revised through expert review and human-code discrepancy resolution.
