SIFO
SIFO (Simple Instruction Following) evaluates how well language models follow simple, explicit instructions. It tests fundamental instruction-following capabilities across various task types.
Qwen3 VL 235B A22B Thinking from Alibaba Cloud / Qwen Team currently leads the SIFO leaderboard with a score of 0.773 across 1 evaluated AI models.
What SIFO measures
SIFO is a text benchmark that evaluates large language models on instruction following, structured output, general, and agents tasks. LLM Stats tracks 1 model on this benchmark, with a maximum possible score of 100. Current average across reported models is 0.8, with the leader reaching 0.8.
Compare leaders on the best AI for instruction following, best AI for structured output, best AI for general and best AI for agents leaderboards.
Qwen3 VL 235B A22B Thinking leads with 0.8%.

LiveCodeBench is a holistic and contamination-free evaluation benchmark for large language models for code. It continuously collects new problems from programming contests (LeetCode, AtCoder, CodeForces) and evaluates four different scenarios: code generation, self-repair, code execution, and test output prediction. Problems are annotated with release dates to enable evaluation on unseen problems released after a model's training cutoff.
