MSQA - English: leaderboard
MSQA asks short culture-specific questions written by native speakers in their own language, each with one verifiable answer grounded in local sources. This board covers the English-language questions. Answers are free-form, judged for containing the gold answer, and scored as the harmonic mean of the correct share and the correct-given-attempted share, so both wrong answers and refusals cost points (ByteDance Seed, Nanjing University and M-A-P, 2026).
Metric: F-score (%; harmonic mean of CO, the share of fully correct answers, and CGA, the correct share of attempted answers, over the 151 English-language questions; free-form answers to natively sourced culture-specific short questions asked in their own language, five runs per model, scored by a Gemini-3.1-Pro gold-answer containment judge). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around February 2027. 21 models tracked.
