We need LLM benchmarks with the same lessons we learned from ML challenges. Absolutely private test sets, submissions can only be selected based on public score, number of subs limited. Even with these, value decays over time.
It is critical for scientific integrity that we trust our measure of progress.
The @lmarena.bsky.social has become the go-to evaluation for AI progress.
Our release today demonstrates the difficulty in maintaining fair evaluations on the Arena, despite best intentions.
