Claims about the Massive Multitask Language Understanding (MMLU) benchmark, including its design, evaluation results, and how model prompting or training affects performance on it. Excludes other language-model benchmarks.

METR and MMLU version-linking bridges with six or seven common systems have about 80% power for 25% slope departures.
