What the tests say

Where Llama 2-70B stands out and where it falls behind, by the numbers

Llama 2-70B has published results on 17 tests compiled by Epoch AI. The yardstick here is its generation: its position among the models released between Oct 21, 2022 and Oct 16, 2023 that took the same test. Against the whole archive, which includes 2023 models, a recent release lands near the top of almost everything, and that says nothing.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask about Llama 2-70B

Where does Llama 2-70B rank among AI models?

In the ROO3 AI Benchmark, ordered by the Epoch AI ECI, Llama 2-70B ranks #212 out of 267 models, with an ECI of 113.84. The ECI is a composite index that combines several hard benchmarks into a single scale. The position changes when a new model comes out, and the page is refreshed six times a day.

Is Llama 2-70B better than Qwen-14B?

Across the 7 tests both models took and Epoch AI compiled, Llama 2-70B comes out ahead on 6, behind on 1 and tied on 0. It is a test-by-test count with no weighting: a win in math counts the same as a win in coding. To choose between the two, look at the tests that resemble your own use.

What is Llama 2-70B best at?

Against models of the same generation (released up to 9 months before and up to 3 months after it), the best relative results of Llama 2-70B are: TriviaQA (#1 of 19); LAMBADA (#2 of 19); BIG-Bench Hard (#3 of 24). The yardstick is its position among the models of that period that took the same test.

Where do the numbers on this page come from?

From the same three sources as the ranking, all openly licensed: Epoch AI (ECI and individual tests, CC BY 4.0), Arena (human-preference ELO, CC BY 4.0) and LiveBench (overall average, CC BY-SA 4.0). ROO3 does not measure any model. When the page shows a figure published by the maker itself, it appears in the written analysis, labeled as the maker's, and never enters the ranking.
