πŸš€ There Is No Neutral Harness: Modern LLM Leaderboards Are Manufactured by Config-Fragile Items

Are AI leaderboards actually reliable? A groundbreaking study reveals that modern LLM benchmarks are "manufactured" by highly config-fragile setups! Minor prompt tweaks or simply shuffling option orders can completely scramble model rankings. 🧡

Key findings from the research:
β€’ Multiple-choice benchmarks are extremely sensitive to option ordering.
β€’ Slight changes in prompt wording trigger massive score fluctuations.
