Needle: The benchmark your search engine can't memorize

One of the authors here. We have been seeing lots of benchmaxxing and leakage in standard web search benchmarks such as BrowseComp.

We developed this live benchmark with daily/hourly sampled fresh queries matching real agentic search traffic to estimate actual search performance of different AI search providers.

do you somehow control how non-trivial the queries are? The LLM generates them, right?

what if every engine returns garbage, or on the other hand, handles them too well?

building a benchmark like this in a genuinely fair way seems extremely hard to me. I’m very curious about the details, of course within what you can share.

matt4711•6m ago
It is hard to be fair I agree. We tried to be open about what we do here: github.com/keenableai/needle

The queries from what I can tell are not trivial. The actual github repo of the benchmark has a judgement/query browser where you can inspect the different query streams: https://keenableai.github.io/needle/

Do you think it will be possible to train on this bench?
