We couldn't find records past the top ~10 per year, so we built a new database of weekly theater revenues (as reported by Variety) going back to 1922--data is on Github for anyone to use, as is this viz bamman-group.github.io/variety-boxo... 2/7

Excited to share our new paper, “What AI Benchmarks Actually Measure: Adapting Convergent and Discriminant Validity to Interrogate Fifty-Six AI Benchmarks,” accepted as an oral at COLM! arxiv.org/pdf/2609.08812
Heatmap of average correlations between model rankings on benchmarks grouped into 11 assigned concepts: four capability concepts (reasoning, knowledge, comprehension, summarization) and seven safety concepts (over-refusal, refusal, safety detection, ethics, bias, privacy, unsafe behavior). Diagonal cells show within-concept correlations, ranging from 0.87 (knowledge) and 0.72 (over-refusal) down to 0.20 (bias) and 0.02 (safety detection). Reasoning, knowledge, and comprehension correlate with each other at 0.69 to 0.78, higher than reasoning's and comprehension's own within-concept values (0.66 and 0.68). Ethics correlates more with knowledge (0.70) than with itself (0.55), and bias correlates more with capability concepts (0.41 to 0.45) than with itself (0.20). Privacy and unsafe behavior correlate negatively with reasoning, knowledge, and comprehension (−0.41 to −0.49). Over-refusal and refusal correlate at −0.42.

Models like Talkie-1930 sound like voices from the past. If they could reliably speak from specified historical vantage points, researchers might also use them to simulate the past. But how reliable are they? Today we release a benchmark answering that question for English contexts 1831-1930.
Free-text evaluation of answers to character modeling and constrained generation questions. This is just one of several scores Chronologic-EN can produce; we focus on it here because it's both the hardest test and the one most relevant to simulation of the past. Frontier models reach 72%; Talkie-1930 is stronger than several larger competitors, but not at the frontier by this measure. Note that this score has improved ~45% in the last two years, but still falls perceptibly short of ground truth.
