PFB at EVALITA 2026: Overview of the Prometeia Financial Benchmark

The Prometeia Financial Benchmark (PFB) is the EVALITA 2026 shared task on finance questions across 3 languages: Italian, English, and Turkish, and 3 difficulty levels: easy, medium, and hard. The challenge is organized in two subtasks, one on Italian data and one on all three languages. For each subtask, we have received 2 submissions. Our main takeaways are that no significant performance differences stand out across languages and difficulty levels, and that PFB appears to be a challenging benchmark for models smaller than 3B, whereas 20B models already reach an overall accuracy of 90%.
