Collection index: [llms.txt](<https://www.sota2.com/research/llms.txt>)

Data updated: 2026-05-12T16:07:04.308Z

Evaluation of model performance on the TruthfulQA dataset, reporting the score specifically labeled as 'TruthfulQA'.

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 | Truthfulness |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | TruthfulQA |
| Metric | TruthfulQA |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 32 of 32 |
| 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

- [TruthfulQA](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/truthfulness-on-truthfulqa-metric-truthfulqa.md?metric=TruthfulQA>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
