Researchers have developed CultureConverse, a new simulation harness designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) on their ability to provide culturally grounded assistance across multiple turns. This system covers 10 East and Southeast Asian regions and 58 subgroup identities, generating dialogues that assess an assistant's performance in culturally specific scenarios. In benchmark evaluations of 18 models, GPT-5 mini demonstrated the highest assistance quality, and fine-tuning on the CultureConverse-DS dataset improved both in-domain and out-of-domain performance.
