Evaluation of model performance on the ARC Challenge dataset for Question Answering, reporting the ARC-c score and the overall average performance.

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 | Question Answering |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | ARC Challenge |
| Metric | ARC-c Score |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 27 of 27 |
| 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

- [ARC-c Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/question-answering-on-arc-challenge-arc-c-and-avg-metrics.md?metric=ARC-c%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Average Performance](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/question-answering-on-arc-challenge-arc-c-and-avg-metrics.md?metric=Average%20Performance>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
