Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly expected to assist users in completing tasks. However, existing benchmarks provide limited support for evaluating whether agents can carry out office-suite workflows at a reasonable cost. We introduce OmegaUse-OfficeVal, a benchmark for evaluating LLM agents on long-horizon office-suite tasks with task-level economic grounding. The benchmark comprises 100 tasks derived from office-suite requests proposed by practitioners and adapted through a privacy-preserving process. On average, these tasks require 2.32 hours of human labor to complete. An important feature of the benchmark is that each task is paired with two economic signals: human labor time and task price proxy. These signals enable direct comparisons between human costs and LLM inference costs, as well as value-weighted evaluation. To support stable evaluation, we develop code-based verifiers from fine-grained rubrics. We evaluate several frontier LLMs together with a human baseline. Although all evaluated LLMs are substantially cheaper and faster than human workers, they have not yet approached human-level deliverable quality. The code and dataset are fully open-sourced, and more information is available on our project website: https://omegause-officeval.github.io.

While deep learning models, particularly transformer-based architectures, have shown impressive performance in time series forecasting, the application of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) in this domain remains limited. Since RAG has proven effective in enhancing the capabilities of large language models by incorporating relevant external information, retrieving similar time series sequences as references might also improve accuracy in time series forecasting tasks. However, most time series models are constrained by limited training data, smaller parameter scales, and a lack of the extensive generative capabilities found in large language models. Simply concatenating reference sequences into the prompt, as done in language models, may not yield the expected results. To address these challenges, we propose a novel approach, TS-RAG, which leverages RAG to enhance forecasting performance. The framework introduces specially designed reference tokens to effectively fuse information from the input sequence with that from retrieved similar sequences, enabling a more robust capture of complex temporal dynamics. Experimental results demonstrate that TS-RAG achieves consistent state-of-the-art performance across several real-world forecasting benchmarks.
Graphical User Interface (GUI) agents powered by Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown strong potential for automating tasks across diverse digital environments, where reinforcement learning (RL) has become a dominant training paradigm. However, widely used methods such as Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) suffer from reward-gradient misalignment, leading to inefficient and unstable optimization. Recent work addresses this issue by reformulating RL with verifiable rewards (RLVR) as contrastive or classification-based objectives, which improve stability by eliminating problematic gradient behaviors. Despite this progress, existing contrastive RLVR methods rely primarily on outcome-level supervision and fail to capture fine-grained differences in trajectory quality within the same outcome category. In this paper, we propose Length-Aware Contrastive Learning for GUI Agents (LACL-GUI), a contrastive RLVR framework that incorporates trajectory-level quality signals into policy optimization. LACL-GUI introduces structured preferences within both successful and failed trajectories, encouraging concise successful executions and differentiating failure quality based on divergence from successful trajectories, while preserving optimization stability. Experiments on GUI agent benchmarks show that LACL-GUI provides more effective learning signals and consistently improves agent performance over prior methods, highlighting the value of trajectory-level supervision in contrastive RLVR.
