How much do scores change depending on prompt format choice?
Using different prompts (all present in the literature, from
10 points for a single model!
Keep in mind that we only changed the prompt, not the evaluation subsets, etc.
Again, this confirms that evaluation results reported without their details are basically bullshit.
Prompt format on the x axis, all these evals look at the logprob of either "choice A/choice B..." or "A/B...".
Incidentally, it also changes model rankings - so a "best" model might only be best on one type of prompt...
