Evaluation of language model performance on the OpenWebText dataset using Next Token Prediction, measured by PPL and 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 | Next Token Prediction |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | OpenWebText |
| Metric | PPL |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 30 of 30 |
| 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

- [PPL](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/next-token-prediction-on-openwebtext-ppl-accuracy.md?metric=PPL>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Accuracy](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/next-token-prediction-on-openwebtext-ppl-accuracy.md?metric=Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
