amazing to have a local 8b model so smart like this in my machine!
what are your thoughts?

Those benchmarks are a meme. ArtificialAnalysis uses benchmarks established by other research groups, which are often old and overtrained, so they aren't reliable. They carefully show or hide models on default list to paint a picture of bigger models doing better, but when you enable Qwen 8B and 32B with reasoning to be shown, this all falls apart. It's nice enough to brag about a model on LinkedIn, and they are somewhat useful - they seem to be independent and the image and video arenas are great, but they're not capable of maintaining a leak-proof expert benchmarks. Look at math reasoning: DeepSeek R10528 (May '25) - 94 Qwen3 14B (reasoning) - 86 Qwen3 8B (Reasoning) - 83 DeepSeek R1 (Jan '25) - 82 DeepSeek R1 05-28 Qwen3 8B - 79 Claude 3.7 Sonnet (thinking) - 72 Overall bench (Intelligence Index) : DeepSeek R1 (Jan '25) - 60 Qwen3 32B (Reasoning) - 59 Do you believe that it makes sense for Qwen3 8B to score above DeepSeek R1 or for Claude Sonnet 3.7 to be outclassed by DeepSeek R1 05-28 Qwen3 8B with a big margin? Another bench - LiveCodeBench Qwen3 14B (Reasoning) - 52 Claude 3.7 Sonnet thinking - 47 Why are devs using Claude 3.7/4 in Windsurf/Cursor/Roo/Cline/Aider and not Qwen 3 14B? Qwen3 14B is apparently a much better coder lmao. I can't call it benchmark contamination but it's definitely overfit to benchmarks. For god's sake, when you let base Qwen 2.5 32B non-Instruct generate random tokens with trash prompt it will often generate MMLU-style questions and answer pairs out of itself. It's trained to do well at benchmarks that they test on.

i really dont trust artificial analysis rankings these days since they just aggregate other peoples old benchmarks and like they still use scicode or whatever meanwhile its literally beyond satured all models score 99% on it

The work that Deepseek has done is great, but it's obvious that an 8B model cannot score that high on these tests organically (at least for now). This has already been trained on the AIME and other competitions, so these benchmarks alone don't represent any real world usage. Eg, I saw someone say that Gemini 2.5 Flash is on par or better than this 8b model due to how both scored on a certain test. I wish they were right, but these benchmarks should not be taken to face value. More on reddit.com

deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B · Tried it, but not good as expected.
May 30, 2025 - @SytanSD I had similar issues with the source Qwen3 8b model. It failed to answer simple questions that much smaller models like Llama 3.2 3b reliably got right, such as what's the third rock from the sun (Earth). So I suspect the primary issue is that DeepSeek used Qwen3, which so egregiously overfit to the standard LLM tests that they're riddled with pockets of profound ignorance, making them frustratingly unreliable across a spectrum of real-world tasks.
