What is IFBench?
IFBench measures how precisely a model follows verifiable instructions: constraints like 'exactly three paragraphs, no commas, answer only in the form of a JSON object'. Each constraint is machine-checkable, which removes all subjectivity from grading.
What does it test?
IFBench measures how precisely a model obeys the instructions it was given. In detail, it checks:
- exact compliance with machine-checkable constraints
- multiple constraints at the same time
- instruction honesty when the constraints conflict
- precision that general chat quality scores easily miss
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.
