A new research paper from Macquarie Business School investigates how output token caps in multilingual evaluations can skew results. The study found that the measured gap in multilingual reasoning, particularly for languages like German, Thai, and Swahili, can vary significantly (up to 57 points) depending on the token budget used. Researchers demonstrated that adjusting the output cap or using length normalization can alter performance metrics, suggesting that current evaluation methods may not accurately reflect true model capabilities across different languages.
