Benchmarks are important tools for tracking the rapid advancements in large language model (LLM) capabilities. However, benchmarks are not keeping pace in difficulty: LLMs now achieve over 90\% accuracy on popular benchmarks like MMLU, limiting informed measurement of state-of-the-art LLM capabilities. In response, we introduce Humanity's Last Exam (HLE), a multi-modal benchmark at the frontier of human knowledge, designed to be the final closed-ended academic benchmark of its kind with broad subject coverage. HLE consists of 2,500 questions across dozens of subjects, including mathematics, humanities, and the natural sciences. HLE is developed globally by subject-matter experts and consists of multiple-choice and short-answer questions suitable for automated grading. Each question has a known solution that is unambiguous and easily verifiable, but cannot be quickly answered via internet retrieval. State-of-the-art LLMs demonstrate low accuracy and calibration on HLE, highlighting a significant gap between current LLM capabilities and the expert human frontier on closed-ended academic questions. To inform research and policymaking upon a clear understanding of model capabilities, we publicly release HLE at https://lastexam.ai.

The robustness of deep neural networks (DNNs) can be certified through their Lipschitz continuity, which has made the construction of Lipschitz-continuous DNNs an active research field. However, DNNs for audio processing have not been a major focus due to their poor compatibility with existing results. In this paper, we consider the amplitude modifier (AM), a popular architecture for handling audio signals, and propose its Lipschitz-continuous variants, which we refer to as LipsAM. We prove a sufficient condition for an AM to be Lipschitz continuous and propose two architectures as examples of LipsAM. The proposed architectures were applied to a Plug-and-Play algorithm for speech dereverberation, and their improved stability is demonstrated through numerical experiments.
