Reddit asks whether LLMs need a benchmark for treasure-hunt style reasoning
StrangeOops · reddit · 2026-07-21
A Reddit user asks whether there are any benchmarks for using LLMs to solve treasure-hunt style puzzles—tasks that require interpreting vague clues, chaining them together, and resisting red herrings.
- The poster contrasts this with coding, where LLMs already do well.
- They argue this kind of task would better test general reasoning and adaptability.
- The thread is essentially a benchmark/request-for-research discussion rather than a product or model announcement.
