According to God of Prompt on Twitter, recent testing shows that the Phi and Mistral models experienced a significant 13% accuracy drop when evaluated on the GSM1k benchmark compared to GSM8k. Some model variants saw drops as high as 13.4 percentage points. The analysis suggests these models are not demonstrating true reasoning abilities but rather memorization, as they were exposed to the correct answers during training. This finding highlights critical concerns about the generalization and reliability of these AI models for business and research applications.

According to God of Prompt on Twitter, researchers have identified a 0.32 correlation between an AI model's ability to reproduce GSM8k test examples and its performance gap. This finding suggests that models which can recite test questions tend to perform worse when faced with new, unseen questions. As reported by God of Prompt, the implication is that these models may be memorizing answers rather than demonstrating true problem-solving capabilities, raising concerns about the validity of current AI evaluation benchmarks.

According to Andrej Karpathy on X (formerly Twitter), the GSM8K paper from 2021 has become a significant reference point in the evaluation of large language models (LLMs), especially for math problem-solving capabilities (source: https://twitter.com/karpathy/status/1966896849929073106). The dataset, which consists of 8,500 high-quality grade school math word problems, has been widely adopted by AI researchers and industry experts to benchmark LLM performance, identify model weaknesses, and guide improvements in reasoning and logic. This benchmarking standard has directly influenced the development of more robust AI systems and commercial applications, driving advancements in AI-powered tutoring solutions and automated problem-solving tools (source: GSM8K paper, 2021).
