Evaluation of model performance on speech-to-text reasoning and semantic understanding tasks using the test split of the VoiceBench dataset, measured across various reasoning, instruction following, and general evaluation metrics.

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 | Speech-to-text reasoning and semantic understanding |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | VoiceBench (test) |
| Metric | Alpaca Eval |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 13 of 13 |
| 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.
