Researchers Introduce Humanity's Last Exam Benchmark

A Nature study published Jan. 28 co-led by Phan Nguyen Hoang Long introduces Humanity’s Last Exam (HLE), a 2,500-question multimodal benchmark assessing expert-level reasoning of LLMs like Gemini, GPT-5.2, and Grok. Developed with contributions from more than 1,000 professors across 500+ institutions, HLE already informs model leaderboards and industry evaluations, highlighting current AI scores well below top-tier human experts (~90%).
Key Points
- 1Introduce HLE benchmark: 2,500 expert-level multimodal questions, closed-ended, verifiable solutions.
- 2Mobilize global expertise: 1,000+ professors from 500+ institutions ensure breadth and methodological rigor.
- 3Inform evaluation and policy: firms and regulators use HLE leaderboards for model assessment.
Scoring Rationale
Peer-reviewed Nature benchmark with extensive expert and industry adoption, meriting highest impact despite potential ongoing calibration and model improvements.
