What is RULER (1M)?

RULER (1M tokens) checks what a model can really do with an ultra-long context of up to one million tokens: synthetic tasks such as finding hidden passphrases ('needles'), tracing variables or aggregating facts across the whole document. The score shows how sharply the model works near its advertised limit.

What does it test?

RULER (1M) measures reading and reasoning over very long inputs. In detail, it checks:

  • finding information in a million tokens of input
  • reliable retrieval of multiple hidden items simultaneously
  • aggregation and multi-hop reasoning over very long text
  • stable performance instead of collapsing near the limit

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.

What does RULER (1M) test?

RULER (1M) mainly measures reading and reasoning over very long inputs. Concretely, it checks: finding information in a million tokens of input; reliable retrieval of multiple hidden items simultaneously; aggregation and multi-hop reasoning over very long text.

How is the RULER (1M) score calculated?

The score is accuracy: the percentage of tasks answered or solved correctly. 100% means every task was solved perfectly; higher is better. The declared maximum score of this benchmark is 100.0.
