arXiv:2602.02898v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Language model benchmarks are pervasive and computationally-efficient proxies for real-world downstream performance. However, many recent works find that benchmarks often fail to predict downstream utility. While some works have begun diagnosing sources of misalignment, there remain no ways to systematically update benchmarks to align their scores with downstream usage. Towards bridging this gap, we introduce and study \textit{benchmark alignment}, where we use information about downstream model performance to automatically update benchmarks,
