AI benchmark scores predictable from just two factors, study finds

A new research paper proposes a method called BenchPress that can predict a frontier model's performance across numerous benchmarks using only two key scores. The study analyzed 84 models and 133 benchmarks, finding that a model's overall performance is largely determined by just two underlying factors. This approach can significantly reduce the number of evaluations needed, suggesting a subset of five benchmarks can predict a model's full scorecard with high accuracy. AI

IMPACT Could streamline AI model evaluation by reducing the number of benchmarks required.

    You Don't Need to Run Every Eval

    A modern model release reports scores on 40+ benchmarks and the same evaluations were run many more times before it: to track training progress, compare design choices, and select the checkpoint for the release. But do we need to run every eval? We compile a public score matrix o…
