What is IFBench (prompt loose)?

IFBench (prompt loose) is a benchmark for how precisely a model obeys the instructions it was given. The official description says: "IFBench (prompt loose) - instruction following benchmark, loose prompt evaluation". Below we describe in simple words what benchmarks of this type generally examine.

What does it test?

IFBench (prompt loose) measures how precisely a model obeys the instructions it was given. In detail, it checks:

  • meeting verifiable constraints (length, format, language, layout)
  • following several constraints correctly at once
  • keeping the constraints over long, multi-turn conversations
  • not ignoring parts of the instruction while sounding plausible

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.

Official methodology note: IFBench (prompt loose) - instruction following benchmark, loose prompt evaluation.
