The benchmark includes over 1,600 idioms and proverbs, evaluated using a novel LLM-as-a-Judge approach. Initial testing revealed significant performance gaps, with specialized Vietnamese models like VinaLLaMA-7B scoring substantially lower than multilingual models such as GPT-4o, indicating a lack of cultural competence in current AI systems.
