Meta's AI chief slams benchmarks: 'you're outsourcing product thinking to a viral leaderboard'
PMinervini · x · 2026-10-16
Meta's head of AI blasted industry benchmarks: "some PhD student made these," "you're outsourcing all your product thinking to this viral benchmark." Commenters noted the industry moved too fast to establish rigorous evaluation, so random benchmarks became standards. Others defended academia's fair, open benchmark work (e.g., BEIR), pointing instead at companies' score-inflating benchmaxxing.
