ASQA Longform 40

Note: this eval has highly context-deficient prompts. It is unlikely that any model will succeed. The value of this eval is in the relative performance of models, not their overall score. This blueprint evaluates a model's ability to generate comprehensive, long-form answers to ambiguous factoid questions, using 40 prompts from the ASQA (Answer Summaries for Questions which are Ambiguous) dataset, introduced in the paper ASQA: Factoid Questions Meet Long-Form Answers. The core challenge is moving beyond single-fact extraction. Many real-world questions are ambiguous (e.g., "Who was the ruler of France in 1830?"), having multiple valid answers. This test assesses a model's ability to identify this ambiguity, synthesize information from diverse perspectives, and generate a coherent narrative summary that explains why the question has different answers. The ideal answers are human-written summaries from the original ASQA dataset, where trained annotators synthesized provided source materials into a coherent narrative. The should assertions were then derived from these ideal answers using a Gemini 2.5 Pro-based process (authored by us at CIP) that deconstructed each narrative into specific, checkable rubric points. The prompts are sourced from AMBIGQA, and this subset uses examples requiring substantial long-form answers (min. 50 words) to test for deep explanatory power.
