Qwen3.5 27B — Benchmarks

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.

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.

Vending-Bench 2, from Andon Labs, is a long-horizon agent benchmark in which the model runs a simulated vending-machine business for a year, handling suppliers, pricing and cash flow. The score is the final money balance in US dollars.

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.

ALE-Bench, from Sakana AI and AtCoder, tests long-horizon algorithmic optimisation using problems drawn from AtCoder Heuristic Contests, where there is no single correct answer and solutions are scored on quality. Results are reported as an AtCoder-style performance rating, where higher is better.

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.
