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.
