by Julius Research (Drew Hahn, Tyler Shibata, Jackson Grove, Rahul Sonwalkar et al.)
What is DeepFinance? DeepFinance is an agents & tool use eval made by Julius Research (Drew Hahn, Tyler Shibata, Jackson Grove, Rahul Sonwalkar et al.). An ultra long-horizon PE and IB workflow benchmark of 21 anonymised deal tasks (about 27.1 human hours and about 84 rubric criteria each) with data rooms of spreadsheets, emails, PDFs and notes. Graders score the deliverable and the agent's trajectory on output, workflow and judgment criteria written by PE/IB practitioners. Models run in their native harnesses; Julius's 5 Nov 2026 lab run reports a top mean rubric score of 54.8% (Claude Opus 5.5 max), with the top three within about one point. Tasks stay private; outside teams cannot rerun the official set.
