arXiv:2607.08284v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated rapidly improving long-context capabilities, prompting a wave of benchmarks designed to evaluate them. However, existing long-context evaluations - from Needle-in-a-Haystack (NIAH) tests to more recent multi-hop reasoning and summarization tasks - predominantly measure average-case performance, and many are either saturated or lack robustness. Notably absent is a systematic way to probe how models perform as we scale up the difficulty of tasks along various axes. We address this gap by proposing Pred
The rapid advancement in LLM long-context capabilities necessitates more robust and nuanced evaluation methodologies to understand their true limitations and capabilities beyond average-case performance.
This new benchmark provides a systematic way to probe how LLMs perform under increasing difficulty across various axes, which is crucial for developing more reliable and capable AI agents and systems.
The introduction of PredicateLongBench shifts the focus from saturated or unrobust long-context evaluations to a more granular understanding of model performance against specific axes of difficulty.
