What is Arena-Hard v2?

Arena-Hard v2 measures chat and instruction quality as a win rate: two models answer the same prompt and a judge model decides which answer is better, mirroring LMArena-style preference ratings. The score says something about perceived answer quality — not about provable correctness.

What does it test?

Arena-Hard v2 measures how precisely a model obeys the instructions it was given. In detail, it checks:

  • helpful, well-structured chat answers
  • relative quality compared against a fixed reference model
  • consistency of judgement by a fixed judge model
  • real-world preference rather than exam-style correctness

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.
