Candidate: LLM Elimination Game #5

Description

@Dan-Cleary

Candidate bench

Repo: https://github.com/lechmazur/elimination_game
Owner: lechmazur (GitHub)
Source-of-truth data URL: Structured game logs and model summaries in the repo (/logs, /model_summary_results directories); leaderboard uses Microsoft TrueSkill ratings

What it measures

Multiple LLMs play rounds of a social deduction / elimination game. Each round, players negotiate, form coalitions, and vote to eliminate opponents. The benchmark evaluates social reasoning under pressure: cooperative reliability, coalition engineering, strategic deception, deception resistance, negotiation, persuasion, reputation management, theory of mind, and long-horizon planning.

Scores are TrueSkill ratings (μ±σ) computed across randomized passes through game logs. 61 models currently ranked, including all major frontier labs.

Why it fits

  • Personal/indie benchmark by a single GitHub user (lechmazur, same author as several other strong community benches)
  • Completely novel question type: how well does a model play social games with other LLMs? — no academic equivalent
  • 302 GitHub stars — strong community signal
  • 61 models on the leaderboard, actively maintained
  • Structured data exists in the repo (game logs + model summary JSONs)

Notes for adapter

The ingestable data is likely in /model_summary_results (per-model JSON summaries). The score to display is the TrueSkill μ (higher-better). Check whether a flat leaderboard CSV/JSON exists at the repo root before parsing individual log files. May need direction: "higher-better" with scoreLabel: "TrueSkill rating".
