330 LLMs tested on Korean; many fail script adherence

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent evaluation of 330 language models tested their performance on Korean language tasks, revealing significant issues with script adherence. A significant portion of models failed to maintain correct script usage, with many answers containing incorrect alphabets or characters from other languages like Chinese and Japanese. The evaluation employed a mechanical check for script contamination before human judges assessed the content, ensuring that only linguistically sound responses were graded. Notably, factors like release date, model size, and English benchmark performance did not correlate with success in Korean tasks, with some older models and smaller variants achieving perfect scores.
