GPQA
Also called GPQA Diamond, Graduate-Level Google-Proof Q&A.
GPQA (Graduate-Level Google-Proof Q&A) is a benchmark of difficult multiple-choice questions in biology, physics, and chemistry, written by domain experts so that skilled non-experts cannot answer them reliably even with unrestricted web access.
Description
Its high-quality "Diamond" subset is the version most often reported in model announcements. Because the questions resist search, it measures expert-level reasoning more than retrieval. It is also used to study scalable oversight, the question of how people can supervise models that know more than they do.
