Humanity's Last Exam
Fits general assistants where raw expert knowledge of the underlying model matters. Borrow the short-answer judge prompt and the calibration-error reporting next to accuracy.
What it asks the agent to do
- answer an expert-level closed-book question in math, science or humanities
- pick the right option on a hard multiple-choice question
- state a confidence that matches accuracy

Caveats
Not an agent benchmark: closed-book expert questions with no tools or multi-step work; some questions have multimodal inputs; scores say little about tool use or task completion.
