Evaluation of model performance on the Circuit Recovery task using the MCQA dataset, measured by CPR (faithfulness score).

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Circuit Recovery |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | MCQA |
| Metric | CPR (Faithfulness Score) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 14 of 14 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [CPR (Faithfulness Score)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/circuit-recovery-on-mcqa.md?metric=CPR%20(Faithfulness%20Score)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
