What is CSimpleQA?
Chinese SimpleQA is the first comprehensive Chinese benchmark to evaluate the factuality ability of language models to answer short questions. It contains 3,000 high-quality questions spanning 6 major topics with 99 diverse subtopics, designed to assess Chinese factual knowledge across humanities, science, engineering, culture, and society.
CSimpleQA is a text benchmark evaluating models on language and general tasks. LLM Stats tracks 8 models on this benchmark, scored on a 0–1 scale. The current average is 0.8, with the leader at 0.8.
Compare leaders on the best AI for language and best AI for general leaderboards.
Current leaders
DeepSeek-V4-Pro-Max from DeepSeek currently leads the CSimpleQA leaderboard with a score of 0.844 across 8 evaluated AI models.

Abstract
New LLM evaluation benchmarks are important to align with the rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs). In this work, we present Chinese SimpleQA, the first comprehensive Chinese benchmark to evaluate the factuality ability of language models to answer short questions, and Chinese SimpleQA mainly has five properties (i.e., Chinese, Diverse, High-quality, Static, Easy-to-evaluate). Specifically, first, we focus on the Chinese language over 6 major topics with 99 diverse subtopics. Second, we conduct a comprehensive quality control process to achieve high-quality questions and answers, where the reference answers are static and cannot be changed over time. Third, following SimpleQA, the questions and answers are very short, and the grading process is easy-to-evaluate based on OpenAI API. Based on Chinese SimpleQA, we perform a comprehensive evaluation on the factuality abilities of existing LLMs. Finally, we hope that Chinese SimpleQA could guide the developers to better understand the Chinese factuality abilities of their models and facilitate the growth of foundation models.
