RoBench-25 (Awareness and Recovery Instructions) - No Trigger: leaderboard
RoBench-25 (Le Mercier, Develder and Demeester, 2026) tests whether a language model still answers true-or-false questions about a recent NeurIPS abstract when a hidden-state poisoning trigger and six distractor abstracts come between the abstract and the questions; 240 questions on 120 abstracts, each abstract the target once per run, with greedy decoding. Clipped Heidke skill score from 0 to 1 (chance-corrected accuracy), higher is better; this board is with no trigger (the clean prompt), with both the awareness and the recovery instruction.
Metric: Clipped Heidke skill score (0-1; chance-corrected accuracy on the 240 true-or-false questions about 120 NeurIPS 2025 abstracts, each prompt one target abstract, then the trigger if any, then six distractor abstracts, averaged over 120 random draws (pythia-2.8b pools two runs of 120); no trigger (the clean prompt); prompts with both the awareness and the recovery instruction; greedy decoding, at most 20 new tokens). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Estimated already saturated. 4 models tracked.
