Not even that, see LMArena. They vaguely gesture in the general direction of the model being good, but between contamination and issues with scoring they're little more than a vibe check.
But if the test metrics are fundamentally flawed they might not be useful even for relative comparisons. Like if I told you that Model A scores 10x as many blorks points as model B, I don’t know how you translate that into insights about performance on real world scenarios.
I don't really buy that they're even necessarily useful for comparing models. In the example from the article, if model A says "48 + 6 minutes" and gets marked correct, and model B says "63 minutes" (the correct answer) and gets marked correct, the test will say that they're equivalent on that axis when in fact one gave a completely nonsense answer.
