The top proprietary models achieve ~90% accuracy, which falls short of human accuracy (~95%). The best open models perform significantly worse, with the best open model performance from Gemma 3 (27B) at 82.4%.

Introducing Global PIQA, a new multilingual benchmark for 100+ languages. This benchmark is the outcome of this year’s MRL shared task, in collaboration with 300+ researchers from 65 countries. This dataset evaluates physical commonsense reasoning in culturally relevant contexts.

We have over 200 volunteers now for 90+ languages! We are hoping to expand the diversity of our language coverage and are still looking for participants who speak these languages. Check out how to get involved below, and please help us spread the word!

With six weeks left before the deadline, we have had over 50 volunteers sign up to contribute for over 30 languages. If you don’t see your language represented on the map, this is your sign to get involved!

The submission deadline for the 5th Workshop on Multilingual Representation Learning is coming up! See details below!
