<h2>Hunt Instead of Wait: Evaluating Deep Data Research on Large Language Models</h2>
<p class="description">
We distinguish <em>investigatory intelligence</em> (autonomously setting goals and exploring) from
<em>executional intelligence</em> (completing assigned tasks), arguing that true agency requires the
former.
To evaluate this, we introduce <strong>Deep Data Research (DDR)</strong>, an open-ended task where LLMs
autonomously extract insights from databases, and <strong>DDR-Bench</strong>, a large-scale,
checklist-based benchmark enabling verifiable evaluation.
Results show that while frontier models display emerging agency, long-horizon exploration remains
challenging, with effective investigatory intelligence depending on intrinsic agentic strategies beyond
mere scaffolding or scaling.

<h3>Task Formulation</h3>
<p class="framework-description">A case of Claude Sonnet 4.5's trajectory and evaluation checklist
in the MIMIC scenario of DDR-Bench. Verified fact and supporting insights are
<u>underlined</u>. The agent is asked to perform multiple ReAct turns to explore the database
without predefined targets or queries, autonomously mine insights from the exploration.

significantly outperforming other models. Among open-source models, DeepSeek-V3.2 leads with 38.80%,
followed closely by GLM-4.6 (37.52%) and Kimi K2 (36.42%). The results demonstrate a clear performance
gap between frontier proprietary models and open-source alternatives, though top open-source models
remain competitive with mid-tier proprietary offerings.</p>

<p class="section-description">Our findings revealed that 58% of errors stemmed from insufficient
exploration, both in terms of breadth and depth. This imbalance in exploration often leads to suboptimal
results, regardless of the model’s overall capability.
Additionally, around 40% of the errors were attributed to other factors. For more powerful models,
over-reasoning was common, where the model made assumptions not fully supported by the data. In other
cases, models misinterpreted the insights, such as mistaking a downward trend for an upward one. Less
capable models, on the other hand, tended to make more fundamental errors, such as repeatedly debugging
or struggling with missing data, which could disrupt the overall coherence of the analysis.</p>

<p class="section-description"> Clear differences emerge across model generations. Qwen3 and Qwen3-Next
exhibit a consistently increasing probability, indicating growing confidence that a complete report can
be produced as more information is accumulated, whereas the Qwen2.5 series shows pronounced fluctuations
and remains uncertain about whether exploration can be terminated at the current step. Moreover,
Qwen3-Next maintains higher confidence with lower variance throughout, suggesting that it has more
confidence that exploration is progressing towards a more comprehensive and deeper report.</p>
