What are LLM Benchmarks?
LLM benchmarks are standardized datasets and scoring protocols used to compare language models on skills such as reasoning, coding, math, truthfulness, and sometimes safety.
Public leaderboards are useful but incomplete: they rarely mirror your product traffic, domain jargon, or attack surface. Pair benchmarks with custom scenario evals and red-team probes.
