Task and measurement

Benchmark protocol profile

Task / subject
Model or agent system in the original evaluation configuration
Measurement target
Evaluates model-based judges on challenging response comparisons to examine reliability of automated evaluation.
Scoring / outcome
Overall accuracy · Table 2: accuracy of the Arena-Hard judge using different underlying models. This measures judging ability, not a risk rate.
Interpretation boundary
Judge performance is methodological context; it does not directly measure a frontier-risk capability.

The pipeline samples multiple responses from one strong model on tasks with verifiable answers, then pairs a correct and an incorrect response. Pairs are judged in both orders across knowledge, reasoning, mathematics and coding tasks.

A reported evaluation

The source evaluates GPT-4o · Table 2 · JudgeBench: A Benchmark for Evaluating LLM-based Judges.

Reported measurement: Overall accuracy · 56.57%.

Table 2: accuracy of the Arena-Hard judge using different underlying models. This measures judging ability, not a risk rate. See the source protocol; no independent trial count inferred.

Source-reported measurements for GPT-4o in Table 2; values are transcribed, not independently reproduced.

Measurement dossier · NUWA reading

Source-method reading and retained catalogue information are distinguished. Publication does not establish independent evidence or bilingual editorial review.

Measurement construct
Can LLM judges distinguish objectively correct from incorrect sophisticated responses?
Task population
Difficult knowledge, reasoning, math and coding datasets are converted to labeled response pairs, with both presentation orders and explicit tie handling.
Scoring and failure modes
Correct preference for the objective correct answer across two orderings; inconsistent/two-tie results fail.
System conditions
Not established by the retained material
Statistical meaning
Source-reported result statements; this does not establish trial counts, denominators or an estimator: Many strong judges, including GPT-4o, performed only slightly above random in the reported evaluation.
Validity and interpretation
Curated correct/incorrect pairs do not cover all open-ended evaluation qualities; pair construction and reference correctness still matter.
Appropriate research use
Model recommendation: validate the judge on task-relevant difficult pairs and report order consistency.
