What is Humanity's Last Exam?

Humanity's Last Exam (HLE) is a question set of over 2,500 expert questions from about a hundred domains, designed to be the very edge of human knowledge — created specifically because frontier models had become too good at all existing benchmarks. The score reflects the accuracy of the final answer.

What does it test?

Humanity's Last Exam measures hard reasoning in science, technology, engineering and math. In detail, it checks:

  • extremely difficult interdisciplinary questions
  • genuine expert reasoning instead of pattern matching
  • compositional thinking across several fields
  • accuracy even when guessing would be plausible

How to read the score
