[ AI ][ EVALUATION ][ NOUN ]
FORCE: Machine CultureUNIVERSE: AI CultureCLUSTER: evaluation

Optimizing an AI model or prompt specifically to score well on known benchmarks rather than to perform better on real-world tasks, distinct from prompt evaluation by gaming a specific test rather than genuinely measuring quality.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"It topped every benchmark and then completely fell apart on the actual task, classic benchmark chasing."

LORE & ORIGIN

Borrows 'chasing' from the same competitive-pursuit framing used elsewhere in this dictionary, applied to benchmark scores specifically.
