LLMs refuse ambiguous queries that look harmful but aren't. Can they recover once users clarify, while staying safe? Our new interactive multi-turn benchmark measures both. 🚨 Turns out: not both at once.

Can LLMs accurately aggregate information over long, information-dense texts? Not yet… We introduce Oolong, a dataset of simple-to-verify information aggregation questions over long inputs. No model achieves >50% accuracy at 128K on Oolong!
Performance of a sweep of models on Oolong-synth and Oolong-real. Performance decreases with increasing context length, sometimes steeply.
