Active Probing Benchmark (Physics)
General QA · 2026-10-12
The 120 physics puzzles of the Active Probing Benchmark, built from specialized Wikipedia concepts across that domain's sub-disciplines. Within 15 turns a model asks multiple-choice questions about a hidden target concept, and a knowledge oracle, DeepSeek V3, validates the options against the concept's reference article; a puzzle is solved when one of the model's options is the target, and the score is the percentage solved.
