Benchmark definition

SimpleBench

ActiveEstablishedCommon useSIMPLEBENCH

A text multiple-choice benchmark of over 200 everyday reasoning questions where non-specialized human performance was intended to remain stronger than frontier models at introduction.

Applicability does not mean evaluated; benchmark result/model score data is outside this UI contract.

About

Description
SimpleBench emphasizes spatiotemporal reasoning, social intelligence, and adversarial/trick questions grounded in everyday understanding rather than specialist knowledge.
What it measures
Everyday commonsense, social, and spatiotemporal reasoning under adversarial multiple-choice prompts.

Methodology

Published SimpleBench settingsThis definition

The public benchmark site reports repeated-sample aggregate scoring and settings including temperature 0.7 and top-p 0.95 for most models; exact versioned methodology should be captured per dataset release.

Evaluation environment

What the benchmark's harness provides and allows. These are properties of the environment, not model requirements, and applicability does not test for them.

Interaction

None. Static prompts and answers.
