Syslog Severity Classification - Few-Shot: leaderboard

Small and small reasoning language models label real Linux journalctl log entries with their syslog severity level (0-7) with five labelled example logs from the training split in the prompt; malformed or verbose answers count as wrong. Accuracy in percent on 9,355 held-out logs, higher is better; Masri et al. (George Mason University), 2026.

Metric: Accuracy on 9,355 held-out journalctl logs, exact syslog severity level (%). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Estimated already saturated. 9 models tracked.
