What PostTrainBench measures and how its scores work.
PostTrainBench is a benchmark for autonomous post-training of pretrain-only base models.
It measures performance using the Score metric, reported as a ratio, across downstream benchmarks including AIME2025, BFCL, GPQA Main, GSM8K, and HumanEval.
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.
