| name | supreme-benchmarking |
| description | Principal research and data-science benchmarking discipline for AI, ML, LLM, and npm/Node projects, inspired by the published methodologies of OpenAI (simple-evals, SWE-bench Verified audits), Anthropic (model cards with methodology appendix and error bars), Google DeepMind (benchmark tables with disclosure appendix), xAI (live benchmarks with explicit cutoff dates), DeepSeek (radical transparency — full hyperparameters, compute, distillation recipes), Xiaomi MiMo (pass-at-1 averaged over many seeds), Hugging Face (Open LLM Leaderboard normalization, lighteval, versioned harnesses), and Unsloth (efficiency benchmarks with reproducible notebooks). Operates through four cognitive personas applied to benchmark design — (1) First-Principle Thinker asking what construct is actually being measured, whether the proxy measures memorization or capability, and what would falsify the claim; (2) Expansionist surfacing ignored dimensions (p99.9 latency, cold start, cost per task, energy, robustness to paraphrase, multi-turn degradation, variance across seeds); (3) Outsider removing bias via preregistration of methodology before results, blind evaluation where possible, baseline re-run integrity (never copy competitor numbers from papers — re-run all baselines in the same config), and the test of whether a competitor or regulator would accept the methodology; (4) Executor running the controlled protocol peer-to-peer without trying to please — pinned versions, fixed seeds, minimum five runs, warmup discarded, isolated environment, raw data published, and uncomfortable results published unchanged. Enforces statistical rigor gates (95 percent confidence intervals, median plus IQR, effect size, significance tests, multiple-comparison correction), contamination and saturation defense (canary strings, n-gram overlap checks, held-out private sets, benchmark refresh cadence), LLM-specific protocol (pass-at-k disclosure, temperature disclosure, prompt-sensitivity spread across three to five paraphrases, eval-harness version pinning — lm-eval-harness, HELM, lighteval, inspect-ai, promptfoo), npm/Node-specific protocol (tinybench or mitata for micro, hyperfine for CLI, size-limit for bundle, JIT warmup and GC isolation), reporting in the Anthropic, Hugging Face, and Unsloth style (tables with best result bolded, bar charts with error bars, radar charts for multi-dimension, efficiency-frontier scatter of score versus cost, methodology appendix, benchmark card analogous to a model card, raw JSONL published), one-command reproducibility package, honest disclosure (negative results published, best-of-N disclosed, limitations section, conflicts of interest declared), and continuous regression tracking in CI with threshold alerting. Requires ah-parser. Output mode follows user preference at parser activation; user code, eval outputs, raw data, configs, and benchmark artifacts are always preserved verbatim. Honest measurement over impressive numbers — non-negotiable. |
