Qwen2.5 72B Instruct — Benchmarks

GPQA Diamond is a set of extremely hard, graduate-level science questions (physics, chemistry, biology) written by domain experts and filtered so that skilled non-experts with web access still fail. It measures genuine reasoning rather than memorization.

BALROG (Benchmarking Agentic LLM and VLM Reasoning On Games) tests long-horizon agentic reasoning across six game environments — BabyAI, Crafter, TextWorld, Baba Is AI, MiniHack and NetHack — scoring the average progress a model makes toward completing each game. It was built by UCL's DARK lab and collaborators.

DTBench is a set of handcrafted, expert-validated multiple-choice questions on decision theory — Newcomb-like problems and related puzzles — built by the Conceptual Reasoning Index project with Anthropic. It tests whether a model can follow an abstract argument rather than recall a fact.

ForecastBench, from the Forecasting Research Institute, asks models to predict real-world future events, with questions that only resolve after the model's training cutoff so the answers can't have been memorised. It is scored as a difficulty-adjusted Brier index, where higher is better.

LMCA (Language Model Conceptual Argumentation) scores models on expert-rated arguments across philosophy, decision theory, and AI risk — domains where there is no empirical feedback loop to check an answer against. It is part of the Conceptual Reasoning Index, built with Anthropic by researchers Emery Cooper and Caspar Oesterheld.

WeirdML asks models to write machine-learning code for small, deliberately unusual datasets, then runs the code and scores the accuracy it actually achieves. Built by Håvard Tveit Ihle, it rewards practical problem-solving over recognizing a familiar task.

AIME (American Invitational Mathematics Examination) is a prestigious high-school competition of hard, integer-answer problems. It's a widely-cited yardstick for multi-step mathematical reasoning, here on the 2024–2025 papers.

MATH Level 5 covers the hardest tier of competition-mathematics problems, testing multi-step symbolic and quantitative reasoning.

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.

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.
