1. MMLU (Massive Multitask Language Understanding)

MMLU measures a model's general knowledge across academic subjects (humanities, sciences). Flagship models score 88%+, while budget models average 80%+, representing a strong baseline.

2. HumanEval (Coding and Syntax compliance)

HumanEval measures a model's ability to generate python code that passes unit tests. Claude 3.5 Sonnet scores highly (92%+), illustrating its strength in software engineering tasks.

3. GPQA (Graduate-Level Reasoning)

GPQA is a difficult evaluation featuring graduate-level questions in physics, biology, and chemistry, designed to test a model's reasoning limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are benchmarks reliable indicators of quality?

Benchmarks indicate general capabilities, but models can suffer from data contamination. Test models on your specific prompts to verify accuracy.

What benchmark is best for coding?

HumanEval and SWE-bench are the primary indicators of a model's software engineering and code generation performance.
