The enormous progress in enterprise-useful AI – across multiple industry domains – is being driven by large investments in industry-specific training and evaluation data.
Only bits of that data are openly available. Great to see this higher quality open finance benchmark from @samaya_AI!
@maithra_raghu: Excited to be releasing FrontierFinance, the largest and most challenging open benchmark for evaluating AI agents across the full investment workflow!
FrontierFinance is substantially harder than current finance benchmarks: Existing benchmarks like FinanceBench and Finance Agent focus almost entirely on data extraction.
FrontierFinance spans diverse use cases across the full investment process: Screening & Discovery, Company Research, Sector/Industry/Macro, Earnings & Events, and Coverage & Catalyst Monitoring.
Created for ambiguous, long-horizon agents: 220 examples paired with 11,543 expert-crafted rubrics, following Samaya's Criteria Eval methodology. The rubrics are what let us evaluate the reasoning and steps behind a true expert-level output, not just a plausible-looking one.
Evaluations: We evaluated Claude Fable 5, Claude Opus 4.8, GPT 5.5, Gemini, open-source models including GLM and DeepSeek, and others. We used the same public rubric and a standard harness for financial tasks. Samaya's AI system reached state-of-the-art accuracy at 50.8%, at 4x lower inference cost than Fable 5. Next best was Fable 5 (49.2%), then Opus 4.8 (45%) and GPT 5.5 (43.5%).
We're releasing the benchmark, methodology, and full evaluation results - see link in comments.
Future releases: FrontierFinance was curated from Samaya's larger internal set of ~5,000 examples, and we plan to release subsequent, harder benchmarks as well as a more detailed technical report!
