Evaluation of model performance on the LM Evaluation Harness suite, specifically reporting scores for MMLU (Chain-of-Thought), GSM8K, HellaSwag, WinoGrande, and a custom Recovery metric, aggregated under Natural Language Understanding.

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 | Natural Language Understanding |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | LM Evaluation Harness |
| Metric | MMLU (CoT) |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 19 of 19 |
| 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

- [MMLU (CoT)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/natural-language-understanding-on-lm-evaluation-harness-mmlu-cot-gsm8k.md?metric=MMLU%20(CoT)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [GSM8K](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/natural-language-understanding-on-lm-evaluation-harness-mmlu-cot-gsm8k.md?metric=GSM8K>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [HellaSwag](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/natural-language-understanding-on-lm-evaluation-harness-mmlu-cot-gsm8k.md?metric=HellaSwag>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
