New benchmarks reveal LLMs struggle with multi-turn instruction following

By PulseAugur Editorial · Summary by gemini-2.5-flash-lite from 4 sources

Researchers have introduced two new benchmarks to evaluate large language models' ability to follow complex instructions. SEQUOR addresses constraint adherence in long, multi-turn conversations, revealing that model accuracy drops significantly as conversations lengthen or constraints change. MCJudgeBench focuses on evaluating LLM judges for multi-constraint instruction following, highlighting that overall performance doesn't guarantee consistent reliability across different constraint categories.
