Evaluation of model performance on an averaged score combining results from CWQ, HotpotQA, Quasar-T, and StrategyQA on the test split for Question Answering.

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) | CWQ, HotpotQA, Quasar-T, and StrategyQA Average (test) |
| Metric | Inference Time (s) |
| Unit | TIME |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 5 of 5 |
| 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

- [Inference Time (s)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/question-answering-on-cwq-hotpotqa-quasar-t-and-strategyqa-average-test.md?metric=Inference%20Time%20(s)>): Lower is better; unit: TIME.

- [GPU Memory Usage (GB)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/question-answering-on-cwq-hotpotqa-quasar-t-and-strategyqa-average-test.md?metric=GPU%20Memory%20Usage%20(GB)>): Lower is better; unit: SIZE.
