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...
