Multi-factual (Anthropic)
Models answer questions that each combine several closed-ended sub-questions on one topic. Answers are graded correct, incorrect or unsure against references.
In-house Anthropic factuality evaluation. Questions were built from article quotes and checked by hand. Score is the share answered correctly.

Claude 3 Opus leads with 62.8%
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.
- 1 Claude 3 Opus 62.8%

Scores over time
All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.
Labs report it only in system cards
We read the headline results of 479 launch posts from 51 labs, and none of them list this benchmark. Some system cards do, below.
3 system cards report it, from 1 lab
Besides launch posts, we read the system cards, model cards and technical reports labs publish with a release. They report far more, including safety and frontier-risk tests.
