Automatic Metrics MathCoding
  • A benchmark score comes from a single phrasing of each problem.
  • BenchDrift generates meaning-preserving variations of benchmark problems along four axes, namely linguistic, referential, pragmatic, and structural, and measures how often, and why, correctness flips under each.

  • Across eight benchmarks (including MMLU, GSM8K, and RULER) and three model families (Qwen2.5, Llama3.2, Gemma4), PartRep retains most of the gains of full repetition while using only 59.4\% of its KV cache and 79.0\% of its prefill FLOPs.

Latent Performance Profiling of Large Language Models

Automatic Metrics General
  • Large language models (LLMs) frequently achieve impressive scores on standardized benchmarks, yet accuracy alone offers a limited view of their capabilities.
  • With extensive empirical analyses across eight LLMs, spanning a size range of 0.5B-14B, we demonstrate that models with similar benchmark scores can exhibit contrasting latent profiles, such as differences in entropy or adaptability.

  • We use scaling laws to study the relationship between LLMs' compute scale, general capability benchmarks, and the fidelity of social simulation in three representative sub-domains: opinion modeling, behavioral simulation, and longitudinal…
  • Longitudinal forecasting and underrepresented opinions scale more slowly, especially when they are less correlated with general knowledge and reasoning benchmarks like MMLU.

  • LLM evaluations drive which models get deployed, what safety standards get adopted, which research conclusions get published, and how projections of AI's labor-market impact get made.
  • Using Chatbot Arena data, we show naive 95\% CI coverage drops as n grows while TEE-corrected coverage holds at 95\%, and TEE-guided pipelines restrict the benchmark gaming surface from 56 to 32 Elo (K=27), below the human-leaderboard…
