Outline

With the rapid advancement of AI and its increasing market value, a new, integrated paradigm for reliable assessment is urgently needed. Current benchmarks are vulnerable to issues such as data contamination, selective reporting by developers, and inadequate data quality control. The difficulty in distinguishing between exaggerated claims obscures the scientific signal and erodes public trust. This paper argues that the current laissez-faire approach is unsustainable and argues that a unified, live, and quality-controlled benchmarking framework is necessary for sustainable AI development. We present PeerBench ( https://www.peerbench.ai/) , a community-managed, validated assessment blueprint that enables reliable assessment through sealed execution, item banking with rolling updates, and delayed transparency.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
Restoring the reliability of AI evaluations and presenting a new paradigm for measuring true AI progress.
Presenting the possibility of building a community-based, reliable evaluation system through PeerBench.
Contributing to ensuring transparency, fairness, and sustainability in AI research.
Limitations:
Further validation of PeerBench's initial implementation and practical effectiveness is needed.
Requires ongoing efforts to successfully operate and maintain the community governance model.
Given the complexity of AI evaluation, there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
