Llama 7B — Benchmarks

Benchmark scores for Llama 7B aggregated from public leaderboards (10 boards), with how it ranks among open models and how it compares with its nearest neighbours. See hardware requirements for what you need to run it.

No llmrun Composite Score for Llama 7B: the score is only published for a model measured on at least 4 of the boards in the score panel, spanning at least 2 benchmark categories and including a reasoning or coding board — or on 3 boards that narrow its score to a 90% range of at most 15.6 points. Either way the results must come from at least two different benchmarks. Its individual scores below stand on their own — see how the llmrun Composite Score gets calculated.

Llama 7B reasoning benchmarks

Multi-step logic and problem-solving — can the model think through a hard problem rather than recall an answer.

BIG-Bench Hard
BIG-Bench Hard (BBH) is the 23-task subset of BIG-Bench that earlier models found hardest — multi-step reasoning, logic, and word problems. It's a long-standing standard for tracking reasoning ability across model generations.

WinoGrande
WinoGrande is a large-scale commonsense-reasoning test built around pronoun resolution: the model must pick which of two nouns a pronoun refers to in a sentence, using real-world knowledge to disambiguate. It was designed by AI2 to resist the shortcuts that let earlier models game its predecessor, Winograd.

PIQA
PIQA (Physical Interaction QA) asks a model to choose the more sensible of two ways to accomplish an everyday physical task, testing practical, physical-world commonsense that isn't well captured by purely textual reasoning tests.

Llama 7B math benchmarks

Symbolic and quantitative problem-solving, from competition math to multi-step calculation.

GSM8K
GSM8K is a classic set of grade-school math word problems requiring several arithmetic reasoning steps. Long a default sanity check for reasoning, top models now score near the ceiling, so it best separates smaller models.

Llama 7B knowledge benchmarks

Breadth and depth of factual knowledge across many subjects, paired with the reasoning to apply it.

MMLU
MMLU (Massive Multitask Language Understanding) spans 57 subjects from history to law to medicine as multiple-choice questions. It is the long-standing default for broad knowledge and remains the most widely-reported general benchmark.

ARC Challenge
ARC Challenge is a set of grade-school science questions, curated by the Allen Institute for AI (AI2) to exclude ones that simple word-matching or retrieval can answer. It measures science knowledge paired with the reasoning needed to apply it.

HellaSwag
HellaSwag is a commonsense benchmark that asks a model to pick the most plausible continuation of an everyday situation. The wrong options are adversarially chosen to fool models, testing grounded commonsense understanding.

BoolQ
BoolQ is a reading-comprehension benchmark of naturally occurring yes/no questions, each paired with a short passage that contains the answer. It tests whether a model can extract and reason over information from real text rather than just recall facts.
