AI benchmark
Definition
An AI benchmark is a standard set of tasks used to measure and compare model performance, for example on coding, mathematics, reasoning or agentic work.
Why It Matters
Benchmarks are the main public evidence of capability progress, but they can saturate or be gamed, so trends matter more than single scores.
