Every time I see a table like this numbers go up. Can someone explain what this actually means? Is there just an improvement that some tests are solved in a better way or is this a breakthrough and this model can do something that all others can not?
That is not entirely true. At least some of these tests (like HLE and ARC) take steps to keep the evaluation set private so that LLMs can’t just memorize the answers.
You could question how well this works, but it’s not like the answers are just hanging out on the public internet.
