Overview

• Research examines the reliability of benchmarks used to evaluate large language models (LLMs)
• Identifies major vulnerabilities in current evaluation methods
• Questions if benchmark scores truly reflect real-world performance
• Suggests need for more robust evaluation frameworks
• Shows benchmarks can be manipulated through prompt engineering

Plain English Explanation

Imagine trying to test how good a student is at math by giving them a practice test. But what if the student already saw all the answers? That's similar to the problem facing [language model benchmarks](https://aimodels.fyi/papers/arxiv/vulnerability-language-model-benchmarks-d...
