Deep research benchmarks require expert-level tasks and reliable evaluation grounded in task-specific knowledge. Existing benchmarks rely heavily on expert authoring or pre-existing human-authored materials, while fully automatic construction struggles to ensure consistent and traceable verification. To address this gap, we introduce a verifiable benchmark of 500 deep research tasks spanning 31 topics and 10 major categories, with three query forms designed to probe complementary capabilities required for deep research. The benchmark is constructed automatically using an iterative Explorer-Formalizer-Challenger pipeline that progressively transforms simple questions into deep research tasks. Each task is represented as a directed acyclic graph (DAG) of atomic steps and associated checkpoints, enabling the query, DAG, and rubrics to evolve together in a controlled manner. Experiments demonstrate that the benchmark clearly discriminates among models and query types, while its fact-grounded pointwise rubrics enable fine-grained, human-aligned, and stable evaluation. Our data, implementation, and results are publicly available.

LLM-based agents now have strong general capabilities. However, they still struggle with domain-specific tasks, motivating the integration of external tools to broaden their capabilities. The open-source community offers a vast array of AI models typically released as heterogeneous research artifacts, whereas transforming them into ready-to-call APIs is costly and labor-intensive. Automated model deployment is therefore essential for bridging the gap between model resources and tool usability, yet it remains a long-horizon, multi-stage task that has not been sufficiently explored. To tackle this challenge, we introduce Model Automated Deployment Engine (MADE), a dual-agent coordination system. Specifically, given a model resource, MADE iteratively constructs and validates the deployment artifacts, updates its deployment belief based on execution feedback, and revisits invalid upstream artifacts until the model is successfully served as a ready-to-call API that can then be used by other agents. We further introduce M2ABench, a benchmark for the task of transforming Models to ready-to-call APIs. M2ABench comprises 122 real-world models with standardized test cases for evaluation. Experimental results demonstrate that MADE achieves a deployment success rate of 68.85%, outperforming SWE-agent and OpenHands by 13.93 and 44.26 percentage points, respectively. Our code and dataset are publicly available at https://github.com/HITDiSC/MADE.
