Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28

All 5 leaderboards whose dataset resolves to this page shown (sort by any header). "First row" is the archive's own first row at snapshot, in the archive's row order; nothing here re-ranks and metric direction is not asserted.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

30 shown of 48 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 251. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
