KMMLU-Pro

Solar Pro 4 79.2% leads since Aug 2026 In use

Models answer multiple-choice questions taken from Korean National Professional Licensure exams. It tests professional knowledge used in Korean industry.

Released in the same paper as KMMLU-Redux. The Hugging Face dataset is gated.

In the authors’ words

The development of Large Language Models (LLMs) requires robust benchmarks that encompass not only academic domains but also industrial fields to effectively evaluate their applicability in real-world scenarios. In this paper, we introduce two Korean expert-level benchmarks. KMMLU-Redux, reconstructed from the existing KMMLU, consists of questions from the Korean National Technical Qualification exams, with critical errors removed to enhance reliability. KMMLU-Pro is based on Korean National Professional Licensure exams to reflect professional knowledge in Korea. Our experiments demonstrate that these benchmarks comprehensively represent industrial knowledge in Korea. We release our dataset publicly available.

Solar Pro 4 leads with 79.2% among models released by Aug 2026

Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.

The newest model with a score here came out in Aug 2026, and nobody has reported a newer one. Among the 20 highest-ranked models on the capability index, these have no score yet:

  1. 1 Solar Pro 4 79.2%
  2. 2 Solar Open 2 78.4%
  3. 3 K-EXAONE 2.0 69.1%
  4. 4 EXAONE 4.0 32B 67.7%
  5. 5 EXAONE 4.5 33B 67.6%
  6. 6 K-EXAONE 67.3%
