Evaluation of model performance on the NIAH (M) dataset for Multi-needle retrieval tasks, measured using Accuracy.

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 | Multi-needle retrieval |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | NIAH (M) |
| Metric | Accuracy (NIAH M) |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 35 of 35 |
| 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

- [Accuracy (NIAH M)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/multi-needle-retrieval-on-niah-m.md?metric=Accuracy%20(NIAH%20M)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
