Soofi consortium withdraws GPQA benchmark scores due to data contamination

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Soofi consortium in Germany has retracted its benchmark scores due to the discovery that its training data included paraphrased questions from the GPQA evaluation set. This contamination means the previously reported 11.1-point gain on the GPQA-Diamond benchmark is no longer a valid measure of model capability. A researcher identified the issue, and the Soofi team confirmed the data contamination within a week. AI
