What is AA-LCR?
AA-LCR (Long Context Retrieval) tests whether a model actually retrieves information from very long documents. Relevant passages are hidden across documents of hundreds of thousands of tokens and the model must reliably find and combine them.
What does it test?
AA-LCR measures reading and reasoning over very long inputs. In detail, it checks:
- retrieval accuracy in documents of extreme length
- several hidden 'needles' that have to be found simultaneously
- resistance to being distracted by irrelevant filler material
- robustness close to the model's context window limit
How to read the score
The score is accuracy: the percentage of tasks answered or solved correctly. 100% means every task was solved perfectly; higher is better.
Frequently asked questions
What is the AA-LCR benchmark?
AA-LCR (Long Context Retrieval) tests whether a model actually retrieves information from very long documents. Relevant passages are hidden across documents of hundreds of thousands of tokens and the model must reliably find and combine them.
What does AA-LCR test?
AA-LCR mainly measures reading and reasoning over very long inputs. Concretely, it checks: retrieval accuracy in documents of extreme length; several hidden 'needles' that have to be found simultaneously; resistance to being distracted by irrelevant filler material.
How is the AA-LCR score calculated?
The score is accuracy: the percentage of tasks answered or solved correctly. 100% means every task was solved perfectly; higher is better. The declared maximum score of this benchmark is 100.0.
