STAC benchmark

DeepSeek V4 Pro - providers

Recorded workload

Every run on this leaderboard uses the workload from STAC's first agentic AI benchmark: a real quant research session supplied by a large US market maker. SwarmSim replays it faithfully across different levels of concurrency on every provider.

The recorded workload* is a long-context, long-trajectory agentic system in which a DeepSeek LLM iteratively develops, debugs, and evaluates trading models.

*The recording is contributed by a large US market maker. An agentic coding system (Codex with DeepSeek V4 Pro) iteratively developed, debugged, and evaluated trading models for Bitcoin/USDT market data, producing 300 sequential requests. Input token count is not strictly monotonic across the conversation: it comprises three contiguous segments separated by context-checkpoint compactions, after which accumulated input resets.
