GSM8K
OpenAIGrade School Math 8K: a benchmark of grade-school-level math word problems used to test chain-of-thought style reasoning and mathematical problem solving. It is a staple benchmark for evaluating small and frontier models on concise, single-answer math tasks.
GSM8K (openai/gsm8k), 8.5K grade-school math word problems (7,473 train / 1,319 test), ~5.9 MB, 'main' + 'socratic' configs. From 'Training Verifiers to Solve Math Word Problems' (arXiv:2110.14168). Verified live on HF June 2026 (~948k downloads last month).

Adoption
4 high confidenceThe standard grade-school math-reasoning benchmark, cited near-universally in LLM release reports for years. ~948k HF downloads/month on the canonical config (the highest in this batch) puts annualized usage comfortably into the 1-10M band.
