What is Beam128K?

Beam128K is a benchmark for reading and reasoning over very long inputs. The official description says: "Beam128K - long context retrieval and understanding benchmark at 128K tokens". Below we describe in simple words what benchmarks of this type generally examine.

What does it test?

Beam128K measures reading and reasoning over very long inputs. In detail, it checks:

  • finding relevant facts buried in documents hundreds of thousands of tokens long
  • retrieving multiple needles hidden across the full context
  • reasoning over whole books, codebases or conversation histories
  • staying accurate near the context window limit (no 'lost in the middle' falloff)

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.
