Frontier Forecasting Arena (FFA) — v0.1 (items only)
Anonymized, answer-free evaluation items for the Frontier Forecasting Arena, a historical-replay benchmark that measures forecasting skill with proper scoring rules and is designed so that memorization is measurable rather than assumed away.
This dataset contains the model-facing items only — no ground truth. Skill is verified by the maintainer against held-out truth. That split is the whole point: no real date, absolute level, station, or year ships to a model, so answers can't be looked up or memorized.
Contents
| File | Arm | Items | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
energy/items.jsonl |
Energy load | 50 | 168h history + 24h future drivers → 24×(q10,q50,q90) |
synthetic/items.jsonl |
Synthetic (DGP) | 50 | contamination-proof floor |
kalshi/items.jsonl |
Kalshi weather | 50 | settled-market snapshot ladder |
crypto/items.jsonl |
Crypto | 50 | hourly panel → forward window |
stock/items.jsonl |
Stock | 50 | daily panel → forward window |
Each line is one JSON item with a compact columns + packed-row encoding.
How to run it
Use the FFA CLI (code: https://github.com/steves-brain/ffa-benchmark):
huggingface-cli download userr99/ffa-v0.1 --repo-type dataset --local-dir ffa-v0.1
ffa predict --dataset ffa-v0.1 --out submissions/<your-name> \
--provider openai-compatible --base-url http://localhost:11434/v1 \
--model <your-model> --harness Ollama --dataset-version v0.1
ffa predict never sees the answers. Send the resulting submission back (see
CONTRIBUTING-SUBMISSIONS.md in the GitHub repo) to be scored against private
truth and added to the leaderboard.
Scoring spine
CRPS for the continuous arms, Brier/log-loss for binary. Never a single blended skill number — skill is a per-arm vector; only calibration aggregates across arms.
