Gemini 4 Argon 73.6 leads since September 2026
Not in model cards

The CLUE team tests Chinese and foreign language models on periodic sets of Chinese questions covering language, professional knowledge, reasoning, agents and safety. Open answers are graded by a strong LLM judge, and results feed an overall ranking.

Each period uses new questions, with reports such as 2023-12, 2024 H1, 2025 H1, 2025-09 and the 2025 annual report. Scores from different periods are not comparable. The repository has over 3,300 stars.

In the authors’ words

Large language models (LLMs) have shown the potential to be integrated into human daily lives. Therefore, user preference is the most critical criterion for assessing LLMs' performance in real-world scenarios. However, existing benchmarks mainly focus on measuring models' accuracy using multi-choice questions, which limits the understanding of their capabilities in real applications. We fill this gap by proposing a comprehensive Chinese benchmark SuperCLUE, named after another popular Chinese LLM benchmark CLUE. SuperCLUE encompasses three sub-tasks: actual users' queries and ratings derived from an LLM battle platform (CArena), open-ended questions with single and multiple-turn dialogues (OPEN), and closed-ended questions with the same stems as open-ended single-turn ones (CLOSE). Our study shows that accuracy on closed-ended questions is insufficient to reflect human preferences achieved on open-ended ones. At the same time, they can complement each other to predict actual user preferences. We also demonstrate that GPT-4 is a reliable judge to automatically evaluate human preferences on open-ended questions in a Chinese context. Our benchmark will be released at https://www.CLUEbenchmarks.com
