  1. ChatBench: From Static Benchmarks to Human-AI Evaluation (2025 · 9 citations)
    Benchmarks such as MMLU test LLMs in isolation, but people use chatbots through open-ended dialogue.

Prolific workers received a question, answered it on their own…
  2. Tandem Training for Language Models (2026)
    As language models grow more capable, their reasoning may become hard for humans or weaker systems to follow, which complicates oversight and collaboration.
