You Don't Need to Run Every Eval
This research paper demonstrates that the scores of frontier AI models across 133 benchmarks are approximately rank-2, meaning only two latent factors explain over 90% of variation. The authors introduce BenchPress, a logit-space matrix completion method that predicts a model's full scorecard from just a few benchmarks, significantly reducing the cost of evaluation.
Measuring the performance of our models on real-world tasks
OpenAI introduces GDPval, a new evaluation framework measuring AI model performance on economically valuable, real-world tasks across 44 occupations in the top 9 US GDP-contributing industries. The benchmark includes 1,320 specialized tasks based on actual professional work products, representing a progression from academic benchmarks to more realistic occupational assessments.

OpenAI discusses the importance of evals (evaluations) for measuring and forecasting model progress, especially as benchmarks become saturated or gamed, featuring insights from Tejal Patwardhan and Andrew Mayne.
BEAMS: Benchmarking and Evaluating AI for Modeling and Simulation
The BEAMS Initiative presents a benchmark suite for evaluating AI tools in modeling and simulation, focusing on human-centered and responsible AI practices. Tests reveal variability across LLM-based engines, with better performance in qualitative tasks than causal reasoning.
Unsteady Metrics and Benchmarking Cultures of AI Model Builders
This paper introduces Benchmarking-Cultures-25, a dataset analyzing how AI model builders selectively highlight benchmarks in press releases. It finds a fragmented evaluation landscape with limited cross-model comparability, arguing that benchmarks are used as narrative devices for market positioning rather than standardized scientific measurement.
