GSM8K leaderboard
TL;DR

GSM8K is a math benchmark tracked on BenchGecko. Grade school math word problems. 8,500 problems testing multi-step arithmetic reasoning. A foundational math benchmark.

Level 1

Grade school math word problems. 8,500 problems testing multi-step arithmetic reasoning. A foundational math benchmark.

Level 2

Scores are reported (%, maximum 100); higher is better. BenchGecko collects GSM8K scores from Epoch AI and refreshes them daily; the leaderboard on this page shows the current top models.

Level 3

Compare models only on the same benchmark version and settings. A benchmark separates models well while scores are spread out; when top models bunch together near the maximum, it stops telling them apart.
