| # QuestBench |
|
|
| **QuestBench** is a course-curated benchmark of **256 expert-level questions** |
| for evaluating the deep-search capabilities of language models. Questions are |
| long-tail queries spanning **14 normalized domains** in the humanities and |
| social sciences (Literature, Law, History, Foreign Languages, Social |
| Sciences, Arts, Archaeology, Journalism, …). Each question, reference answer, |
| and grading rubric is in Chinese; the model under evaluation may search and |
| read in any language. |
|
|
| ## Files |
|
|
| - `questbench.jsonl` — 256 questions, one JSON record per line. |
| - `.claude.json` — [Claude Code](https://www.anthropic.com/claude-code) MCP server config. |
| - `vision_server.py` — local MCP server proxying image analysis to OpenRouter. |
| - `package.json`, `package-lock.json` — npm dependencies. |
|
|
| Each JSONL record has four fields: `domain`, `question`, `answer`, |
| `grading_criteria` (the rubric an LLM judge uses to assign a 0–100 score). |
|
