SPIEval: Evaluating Large Language Models as Mobile Assistants over Scattered Personal Information

Hugging Face Daily Papers Papers

Summary

SPIEval is a human-curated benchmark for evaluating LLMs as mobile assistants on scattered personal information tasks, covering 250 tasks across 10 apps. It reveals that even the best model, GPT-5.5 (xhigh), achieves only 57.3% accuracy, with most failures due to inaccurate information localization and insufficient verification.

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as mobile assistants, where a key challenge is leveraging personal information scattered across multiple applications (apps) to complete user instructions. However, due to the lack of dedicated benchmarks, their capabilities remain poorly understood. To address this gap, we introduce SPIEval, a human-curated benchmark grounded in five cognitive capabilities (i.e., reasoning, disambiguation, integration, preference inference, and multi-intent decomposition). SPIEval comprises 250 tasks spanning 4,335 personal records distributed across 10 apps and supports multi-turn interaction through 21 tools. Analysis shows that the benchmark exhibits diverse scenarios, challenging tasks, scattered information, controllable environments, and verifiable outcomes. We evaluate nine representative LLMs and find substantial room for improvement. The best-performing model, GPT-5.5 (xhigh), achieves only 57.3% accuracy, while the weakest achieves just 16.4%. Further analysis reveals that 79% of failures stem from inaccurate information localization, as LLMs often commit to plausible but incorrect information instead of continuing retrieval for verification. We also find that fewer than 2% of retrieval actions employ advanced search methods and observe substantial variation in search efficiency across models. These findings expose fundamental limitations of current LLM-based mobile assistants and motivate future research in this direction. Data and code are available at https://huggingface.co/datasets/Junjie-Ye/SPIEval.

Abstract

SPIEval benchmarks mobile assistant LLMs on scattered personal data tasks, revealing major gaps in information retrieval and verification.

Large language models(LLMs) are increasingly deployed asmobile assistants, where a key challenge is leveraging personal information scattered across multiple applications (apps) to complete user instructions. However, due to the lack of dedicated benchmarks, their capabilities remain poorly understood. To address this gap, we introduceSPIEval, a human-curated benchmark grounded in five cognitive capabilities (i.e.,reasoning,disambiguation,integration,preference inference, andmulti-intent decomposition).SPIEvalcomprises 250 tasks spanning 4,335 personal records distributed across 10 apps and supports multi-turn interaction through 21 tools. Analysis shows that the benchmark exhibits diverse scenarios, challenging tasks, scattered information, controllable environments, and verifiable outcomes. We evaluate nine representative LLMs and find substantial room for improvement. The best-performing model, GPT-5.5 (xhigh), achieves only 57.3% accuracy, while the weakest achieves just 16.4%. Further analysis reveals that 79% of failures stem from inaccurateinformation localization, as LLMs often commit to plausible but incorrect information instead of continuingretrievalfor verification.

Benchmarking Large Language Models for Safety Data Extraction

arXiv cs.CL

This paper benchmarks four large language models (Gemini 1.5 Pro, GPT-4o, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Llama 3.1-70B) for extracting structured information from Safety Data Sheets, finding that text-based extraction with chain-of-thought prompting yields the highest accuracy (84% by Gemini 1.5 Pro) but no model surpasses the 90% threshold required for reliable industrial deployment.
