Meta’s Benchmark Scandal

FutureLens: Meta’s new AI model, Maverick, scored high on a popular AI test—but the version tested isn’t the one developers actually get to use.

Key Takeaways:

• Meta’s Maverick ranked 2nd on LM Arena, a human-rated AI test.

• But the tested model was a “chat-optimized” version, not the public one.

• Researchers noticed big behavior differences between the two versions.

• The tested model gave long answers and used lots of emojis.

• Using a tuned version for testing can mislead developers about real performance.

Why It’s Important: If AI companies tweak models just for tests, it gives a false impression of how good they really are. That makes it harder for developers—and the public—to trust benchmarks and know what they’re really getting.
