Phi 3 Mini 4k Instruct — Benchmarks

Benchmark scores for Phi 3 Mini 4k Instruct aggregated from public leaderboards (9 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 Phi 3 Mini 4k Instruct: 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.

Phi 3 Mini 4k Instruct 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.

Phi 3 Mini 4k Instruct knowledge benchmarks

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

MMLU-Pro
MMLU-Pro is a harder, cleaned-up successor to MMLU with ten answer choices and more reasoning-heavy questions across 14 subjects, measuring broad knowledge and reasoning together.

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.

OpenBookQA
OpenBookQA is a science-question benchmark modeled on open-book exams: the model is given a small set of core science facts and must combine them with broader common knowledge to answer multi-step questions. It targets reasoning over recall.

Phi 3 Mini 4k Instruct instruction following benchmarks

How precisely a model obeys explicit, verifiable instructions — format, length, and content constraints — and, more broadly, how much people prefer its responses head-to-head in blind human voting.

LMArena Text
Arena (arena.ai, formerly LMArena / Chatbot Arena) ranks models by millions of blind, head-to-head human votes on real prompts. The Arena Score shown here is a Bradley-Terry rating computed with Arena's default style control, so higher means people preferred that model's answers more often — it's a relative rating, not a percentage, so compare it only to other models on this board.
