Turing Post's 2026 guide: which LLM benchmarks to use for reasoning, coding, math and agents
TheTuringPost · x · 2026-10-11
Turing Post published a comprehensive October 2026 guide to LLM benchmarks with papers. The recommended stack: MMLU-Pro + GPQA Diamond + Humanity's Last Exam for reasoning; LiveCodeBench + SWE-bench for coding; MMMU-Pro for multimodal; ARC-AGI-2 for novel visual problems; SimpleQA Verified for factuality; BrowseComp for web research; plus task-specific agent evals. Key caveats: no single score suffices — check contamination, grading quality, latency, cost and tool access; use the live Arena leaderboard for preference rankings since frozen lists go stale; robustness requires red-teaming and prompt-injection testing.
