In this work, we propose a multi-evidence, position-aware, and scalable benchmark for evaluating long-context LLMs, named Counting-Stars, which evaluates long-context LLMs by using two tasks: multi-evidence acquisition and multi-evidence reasoning.

Multi-evidence: Counting-Stars is the most evidence-intensive evaluation in known long-context benchmarks.
Position-aware: The position of the evidence in the context can be adjusted as desired and tested in a targeted manner.
Scalable: Both the context length and the amount of evidence can be expanded arbitrarily.

Based on the Counting-Stars test, we conduct experiments to evaluate long-context LLMs (i.e., GPT-4 Turbo, Gemini 1.5 Pro, Claude3 Opus, GLM-4, and Moonshot-v1). Experimental results demonstrate that Gemini 1.5 Pro achieves the best overall results, while the performance of GPT-4 Turbo is the most stable across various tasks. Furthermore, our analysis of these LLMs, which are extended to handle long-context scenarios, indicates that there is potential for improvement as the length of the input context and the intricacy of the tasks are increasing.

Please find more details of this work in the paper.
