KITE introduces the first dedicated benchmark for evaluating large language models' open-ended instruction-following abilities in Korean, developed by researchers from Korea University and Soongsil University. It reveals that GPT-4o achieves 64.46% accuracy on Korean-specific tasks, significantly outperforming existing Korean-specific LLMs, and demonstrates a high correlation with human judgment (r=0.93-0.96).

Key insights

  • Instruction-following is a distinct LLM capability, separate from general language understanding or factual knowledge, requiring specialized tuning.
  • A substantial performance gap exists between highly capable general-purpose LLMs (like GPT-4o) and Korean-specific models on nuanced Korean instruction-following tasks.
  • The impact of few-shot examples on instruction-following performance can be inconsistent for many models, though advanced models like GPT-4o exhibit robustness.
