Researchers have developed a new self-supervised benchmark for evaluating language models on mathematical text continuations. This benchmark uses likelihood scoring to assess how well a model's auxiliary forecast string transmits information about a hidden continuation, such as the rest of a displayed equation. Tests on models like GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.7 showed they could distinguish between model families and reasoning efforts, even when scorers were fine-tuned to emulate shortcut vulnerabilities. The findings suggest cross-model likelihood scoring is a viable method for static benchmarking and probing shortcut vulnerabilities before further optimization. AI
