Qiushi Engine on AstaBench E2E-Bench-Hard
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.08196v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This report analyzes Qiushi Engine v0.8 across all 40 test tasks in AstaBench E2E-Bench-Hard, a benchmark that requires autonomous agents to carry a research question through experimental design, code implementation, actual execution, result analysis, and report delivery. Qiushi Engine is model-configurable; this evaluation selected DeepSeek deepseek-v4pro-preview as the model backend. The official AstaBench leaderboard records a score of 0.816 and an average benchmark cost of USD 15.209 per task, while the full-precision local recomputation is $

Why it matters
The value of this work lies as much in how it was tested as in the claim itself. Sample design, baselines, uncertainty and replication help separate a laboratory result from real-world impact.
