OCB consists of two tracks\. File Fidelity Q&A tests structural and visual perception of office artifacts \- tables, charts, embedded images, formulas, and app\-specific elements such as headers, speaker notes, and named ranges\. Domain Q&A tests expert\-level reasoning grounded in real\-world industry documents across 12 professional domains, with queries requiring multi\-step analysis and synthesis across documents\. Each reference answer is decomposed into atomic, binary\-gradable claims, and an ensemble of LLM judges scores responses against each claim independently\. Even the strongest frontier system in its default reasoning mode reaches only about 59\.3% on Domain Q&A; increasing thinking depth within a tier does not move performance materially, while moving to a higher product tier yields modest gains\. We release the dataset, evaluation tooling, judge prompt, and a public leaderboard\. ## Submission history From: Firoz Shaik \[[view email](https://arxiv.org/show-email/1b6987ba/2607.01245)\] **\[v1\]**Fri, 29 May 2026 03:19:32 UTC \(1,503 KB\)

Mind the Gap: Can Frontier LLMs Pass a Standardized Office Proficiency Exam?
This paper introduces OfficeEval, a benchmark based on China's National Computer Rank Examination (NCRE) to evaluate LLM agents on complex Office automation tasks. Frontier models achieve at best 36.6% in single-turn and 68.8% with agentic systems, far below human-level performance.
OmegaUse-OfficeVal: Benchmarking LLM Agents on Long-Horizon Office-Suite Tasks with Economic Grounding
OmegaUse-OfficeVal is a benchmark for evaluating LLM agents on long-horizon office-suite tasks with economic grounding, comparing human costs and LLM inference costs. It includes 100 tasks requiring ~2.3 hours of human labor each, and finds that frontier LLMs are cheaper and faster but still below human quality.
XL-DocBench: Benchmarking Evidence-Grounded Extra-Long Document Understanding
Introduces XL-DocBench, a human-verified benchmark for extra-long document understanding with 1,519 questions across six professional domains, requiring multi-page evidence and structured reasoning, showing current LLMs still struggle with long-context professional documents.
BBOWP-Bench: Evaluating LLMs on Black-Box Optimization Word Problems
Introduces BBOWP-Bench, a benchmark suite for evaluating LLMs on black-box optimization word problems, where systems must infer both a search space and an optimization algorithm from natural-language descriptions. Initial results show LLMs can select suitable algorithms but struggle with search space design.
