CL-bench Leaderboard

CL-bench, built by Tencent Hunyuan and Fudan University's NLP group, tests whether a model can learn new domain knowledge, rule systems and procedures purely from a long provided context — not from pretraining — and apply them correctly, across 1,899 tasks drawn from 500 scenarios. An LLM judge grades each task against dozens of fine-grained rubrics, and a task counts as solved only when every rubric passes.

Each dot is a model. Up = higher score, left = smaller (easier to run locally). The dashed line marks the efficiency frontier — the best score you can get at each size or smaller.
  • MiniMax M2.5, 229B, score 11.4% — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
  • GLM 4.7, 358B, score 15.9% — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
  • GLM 5, 754B, score 18.7% — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
  • Kimi K2.5, 1T, score 19.3% — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).

CL-bench: frequently asked questions

What is the best open LLM on CL-bench?
Kimi K2.5 is the top open model on CL-bench, scoring 19.3%. Among all models tested — including proprietary ones — it ranks #10. The top model overall is GPT 5.4 (Mar 05, 2026, xhigh) (OpenAI) at 27.9%.
Can open models match proprietary models on CL-bench?
Not quite on CL-bench: the strongest proprietary model (GPT 5.4 (Mar 05, 2026, xhigh)) scores 27.9%, ahead of the best open model (Kimi K2.5) at 19.3% — but you can run the open one yourself.
