What is AlignBench?
AlignBench is a comprehensive multi-dimensional benchmark for evaluating Chinese alignment of Large Language Models. It contains 8 main categories: Fundamental Language Ability, Advanced Chinese Understanding, Open-ended Questions, Writing Ability, Logical Reasoning, Mathematics, Task-oriented Role Play, and Professional Knowledge. The benchmark includes 683 real-scenario rooted queries with human-verified references and uses a rule-calibrated multi-dimensional LLM-as-Judge approach with Chain-of-Thought for evaluation.
AlignBench is a text benchmark evaluating models on language, math, reasoning, roleplay, general, creativity, and writing tasks. LLM Stats tracks 5 models on this benchmark, scored on a 0–1 scale. The current average is 0.8, with the leader at 0.9.
Compare leaders on the best AI for language, best AI for math, best AI for reasoning, best AI for roleplay, best AI for general, best AI for creativity and best AI for writing leaderboards.

Abstract
Alignment has become a critical step for instruction-tuned Large Language Models (LLMs) to become helpful assistants. However, the effective evaluation of alignment for emerging Chinese LLMs is still largely unexplored. To fill in this gap, we introduce AlignBench, a comprehensive multi-dimensional benchmark for evaluating LLMs' alignment in Chinese. We design a human-in-the-loop data curation pipeline, containing eight main categories, 683 real-scenario rooted queries and corresponding human verified references. To ensure the correctness of references, each knowledge-intensive query is accompanied with evidences collected from reliable web sources (including URLs and quotations) by our annotators. For automatic evaluation, our benchmark employs a rule-calibrated multi-dimensional LLM-as-Judge~\cite{zheng2023judging} approach with Chain-of-Thought to generate explanations and final ratings, ensuring high reliability and interpretability. All evaluation code, data, and LLM generations are available at \url{https://github.com/THUDM/AlignBench}. Since its release, AlignBench has been adopted by top (Chinese) LLMs for evaluating their alignment capabilities in Chinese, including ChatGLM, Qwen, DeepSeek, Yi, Baichuan, and Abab.
