# DNR Bench

Don’t Reason Bench (DNR Bench), a novel benchmark designed to expose a vulnerability in current RLMs: their tendency to over-reason by attempting to solve unsolvable 
problems, leading to excessively long responses.

# Data Summary
The DNR Bench dataset contains 150 adversarially crafted prompts divided into five distinct categories:
- Imaginary Reference
- Indifferent
- Math,
- Redundant,
- Unanswerable.

Each category targets a specific failure mode observed in reasoning-optimized LLMs, such as hallucinating nonexistent references, failing to remain neutral in ambiguous contexts, incorrectly solving flawed math problems, overanalyzing redundant information, or answering questions that lack sufficient data.

# Leaderboard
This dataset is used to test reasoning LLMs in [DNR Leaderboard on Huggingface](https://huggingface.co/spaces/ServiceNow-AI/Do-not-reason-bench)
