DROP

DROP (Discrete Reasoning Over Paragraphs) is a reading comprehension benchmark requiring discrete reasoning over paragraph content. It contains crowdsourced, adversarially-created questions that require resolving references and performing discrete operations like addition, counting, or sorting, demanding comprehensive paragraph understanding beyond paraphrase-and-entity-typing shortcuts.

DeepSeek-V3 from DeepSeek currently leads the DROP leaderboard with a score of 0.916 across 29 evaluated AI models.
