LongBench-Chat
Models follow real user instructions over contexts of 10K to 100K tokens. GPT-4 scores each answer from 1 to 10 against references.
Introduced with the LongAlign paper.

Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct-1M leads with 8.76 among models released by Jan 2025
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 Jan 2025, and nobody has reported a newer one. Among the 20 highest-ranked models on the capability index, these have no score yet:
- GPT-6 Astra
- Claude Opus 5.5
- GPT-6.1 Terra

Scores over time
All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.
No launch post has listed it since Jan 2025
Launch posts from every lab that has listed it, one tick per post. Tall colored ticks include it, and short gray ones leave it out.
| Date | Launch post | Score | As the post writes it |
