llm-benchmarks

How language models get measured, ranked, and compared across reasoning, coding, math, and real-world task performance. Coverage spans public leaderboards, benchmark methodology, and the gap between headline scores and actual deployment behavior, including how open weight models stack up against closed frontier systems. Expect practical takes on which numbers matter, where benchmarks mislead, and how to read results when picking a model for your own work.
