ZeroSCROLLS

Zero-shot long-text suite derived from SCROLLS with test-only tasks and new aggregation-style long-context challenges.

Launched: Refresh: static
Status Assessment (nearing-saturation):

ZeroSCROLLS fixed SCROLLS' fine-tuning mismatch and has a live leaderboard, but its 2023-era tasks are now shorter and narrower than current 100k+ and multi-needle long-context stress suites.
