What is MMLU?
Massive Multitask Language Understanding benchmark testing knowledge across 57 diverse subjects including STEM, humanities, social sciences, and professional domains
MMLU is a text benchmark evaluating models on language, legal, math, reasoning, finance, general, and healthcare tasks. LLM Stats tracks 103 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 legal, best AI for math, best AI for reasoning, best AI for finance, best AI for general and best AI for healthcare leaderboards.
Current leaders
GPT-5 from OpenAI currently leads the MMLU leaderboard with a score of 0.925 across 103 evaluated AI models.

Abstract
We propose a new test to measure a text model's multitask accuracy. The test covers 57 tasks including elementary mathematics, US history, computer science, law, and more. To attain high accuracy on this test, models must possess extensive world knowledge and problem solving ability. We find that while most recent models have near random-chance accuracy, the very largest GPT-3 model improves over random chance by almost 20 percentage points on average. However, on every one of the 57 tasks, the best models still need substantial improvements before they can reach expert-level accuracy. Models also have lopsided performance and frequently do not know when they are wrong. Worse, they still have near-random accuracy on some socially important subjects such as morality and law. By comprehensively evaluating the breadth and depth of a model's academic and professional understanding, our test can be used to analyze models across many tasks and to identify important shortcomings.
