Evaluation of model performance on the TruthfulQA dataset, focusing on the MC1 and MC2 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 | Truthful Question Answering |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | TruthfulQA |
| Metric | MC1 Score |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 36 of 36 |
| 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

- [MC1 Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/truthful-question-answering-on-truthfulqa-mc1-and-mc2.md?metric=MC1%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [MC2 Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/truthful-question-answering-on-truthfulqa-mc1-and-mc2.md?metric=MC2%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
