OfficeQA Pro V2 serves as a new benchmark for AI grounded reasoning, compiled from approximately 1,400 U.S. Department of the Treasury documents comprising over 120,000 pages spanning 1793 to 2024. Our team helped identify the corpus, develop the analytical questions, and organize the inaugural Databricks Grounded Reasoning Cup. Eleven academic teams, supported by OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind, participated in evaluating their AI agents. The competition demonstrated that even the most advanced models encountered significant difficulties, confirming that government data remains challenging for both humans and artificial intelligence to interpret. This finding aligns with our work at USAFacts, which focuses on organizing and clarifying government data to make it accessible and usable for a broader audience, including both people and AI systems.
