What MT-Bench measures and how its scores work.
MT-Bench is a multi-turn dialogue benchmark that uses strong LLMs as judges for scalable and explainable evaluation.
It measures multi-turn dialogue capabilities using a Normalized score expressed as a ratio.
Scores are shown in ratio. This benchmark is not independently verified and has an evidence level of B.
LLM Stats. Benchmark scores retain their original unit. Overall score eligibility is shown separately.
