abstract

We propose a new test to measure a text model's multitask accuracy. The test covers 57 tasks including elementary mathematics, US history, computer science, law, and more. To attain high accuracy on this test, models must possess extensive world knowledge and problem solving ability. We find that while most recent models have near random-chance accuracy, the very largest GPT-3 model improves over random chance by almost 20 percentage points on average. However, on every one of the 57 tasks, the best models still need substantial improvements before they can reach expert-level accuracy. Models also have lopsided performance and frequently do not know when they are wrong. Worse, they still have near-random accuracy on some socially important subjects such as morality and law. By comprehensively evaluating the breadth and depth of a model's academic and professional understanding, our test can be used to analyze models across many tasks and to identify important shortcomings.

Fully Open Meditron: An Auditable Pipeline for Clinical LLMs

cs.AI · 2026-05-15 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0 · 2 refs

Presents the first fully open pipeline for clinical LLMs by unifying eight public QA datasets with three clinician-vetted synthetic extensions and applying it to five base models to achieve benchmark gains while maintaining auditability.

Large Language Diffusion Models

cs.CL · 2025-02-14 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

LLaDA is a scalable diffusion-based language model that matches autoregressive LLMs like LLaMA3 8B on tasks and surpasses GPT-4o on reversal poem completion.

Will Scaling Improve Social Simulation with LLMs?

cs.CL · 2026-07-02 · conditional · novelty 7.0

Scaling improves LLM social simulation fidelity in most opinion and behavior tasks but not for human cognitive bias calibration or low-resource domains.

Meta-Benchmarks for Financial-Services LLM Evaluation

cs.AI · 2026-07-02 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A meta-benchmarking framework organizes 452 LLM benchmarks into 41 O*NET Generalized Work Activities and 38 BIAN domains, using discrimination-coverage-recency weights to scale K-factors in an Elo tournament for comparable financial-services scores.

Agentic Abstention: Do Agents Know When to Stop Instead of Act?

cs.AI · 2026-06-27 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

LLM agents often fail to abstain at the right time in uncertain multi-turn tasks, and the CONVOLVE context engineering method raises timely abstention rates on WebShop from 26.7 to 57.4 without parameter updates.

Beyond Prediction: Tail-Aware Scheduling for LLM Inference

cs.LG · 2026-06-16 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Presents a distribution-aware scheduling framework for LLM inference that reduces P99 TTLT by 35-50% and TTFT by 34-47% versus SRPT with perfect length knowledge using statistical signals instead of predictions.

Zone of Proximal Policy Optimization: Teacher in Prompts, Not Gradients

cs.CL · 2026-06-16 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

ZPPO improves distillation to small vision-language models by using binary and negative candidate prompts plus a replay buffer for hard questions, outperforming standard distillation and GRPO on a 31-benchmark suite with largest gains at the 0.8B scale.
