A new evaluation framework called the Control Map has been introduced to assess test-time model updates in language models. This framework goes beyond simple update counts to record the specific updates made before each answer, allowing for separate evaluation of learning, retention, and locality of changes. Experiments using the Control Map revealed that update scheduling significantly impacts performance, with different schedules yielding varying accuracy levels even with the same total number of updates. The research also highlighted that learning new information does not guarantee its permanence or containment, and no single editing method consistently performs best across all models and benchmarks.
