Researchers have introduced the Literature and Linguistics Analysis Benchmark (LALA), a new evaluation tool designed to assess the literary and linguistic capabilities of large language models. The benchmark consists of 236 expert-crafted questions and answers, which were used to evaluate 17 different language models. Results indicate that while base models show limited linguistic competence, their post-trained versions demonstrate significant improvements, suggesting that post-training is crucial for making linguistic knowledge accessible and usable. Notably, parameter count did not correlate with performance, and competencies remained uneven across different linguistic domains, with models excelling in logical relations but still struggling with ambiguity and literary style.
