Benchmarks have a natural lifecycle. As generative AI evolves and large language models (LLMs) improve ever more rapidly, model performance has progressed to the point where our benchmarks have served their purpose. As our research enters a new phase, we are sunsetting S&P AI Benchmarks by Kensho and will no longer be updating our public leaderboards. We want to explain why we’re making this change, and what it means for our customers and the industry.
