MMLU-Pro Combined Results - Model Quantization Comparison

This post is a combination of some new results, old results, and reddit.com/u/invectorgator's results (with permission) to help give a clear picture of all testing so far. Links to the relevant posts can be found below.

This was a lot of fun, and has lit a fire under me about benchmarking. I have some ideas for a personal benchmarking tool using Wilmer that will be easier for me to run. Will share more info once I dig into it.

As usual, a few notes about the tests:

  • These tests were performed using u/chibop1's MMLU-Pro project. Be sure to swing by and thank them for giving us this fun toy
  • With the permission of u/invectorgator, this post will combine all of our results together.
    • We both used the same commits of the MMLU-Pro project, we both used only q8 ggufs (unless otherwise specified) and both used Text-Generation-WebUI for our backends to guarantee correct prompt templating, so our test results are compatible
  • I didn't do these tests expecting them to be super scientific and accurate assessments of an LLM's knowledge. I understand the concerns people have about them. But they do test a combination of knowledge AND instruction following. They aren't perfect, but it's better than just perplexity testing.
  • Invectorgator is doing Gemma, so I'm not
  • Qwen 2 7b just really does not like this test; at least running in text-gen.

New Models In This Test

This test will add the following new models to the pile. I went with some of my personal favorite fine-tunes. You can find the exact GGUFs that I used below, and you can see the above posts for the exact ggufs for the other models:

Old Posts Combined Into This One:

Key Takeaway

I am now convinced that Hermes 2 Theta Llama 3 8b is secretly a 30b in disguise. To say it is punching above its weight is an understatement.

All below tests are ggufs (q8 unless otherwise noted) running in Text-Generation-WebUI. The tests require > 4096 context, so some model versions were chosen to fit that need.

Line breaks are for loose grouping.
