Benchmark
Also known as: Benchmark / AI評価指標 / ベンチマーク評価
A standardized set of tasks or datasets used to measure and compare AI model capabilities. MMLU, HumanEval, SWE-bench, and HLE are prominent examples covering reasoning, coding, and frontier difficulty.
Overview
Benchmarks are standardized tests for objective model comparison. Widely used examples: MMLU (knowledge and reasoning), HumanEval (code generation), SWE-bench (real GitHub bug fixes), MATH, and GPQA/HLE (doctoral-level science). As of 2026, frontier models exceed 80-90% on SWE-bench Verified.
Limitations
Benchmark contamination — models trained on test data — inflates scores. Benchmark performance also does not always predict real-world utility. Eval Harnesses that test models on task-specific custom evaluations are therefore important for production decision-making.
