About this dataset

GSM8K is 8,500 linguistically diverse math word problems at the grade-school level, authored by human problem writers at OpenAI. Each problem requires 2–8 sequential reasoning steps and basic arithmetic. It became the canonical CoT (chain-of-thought) prompting benchmark and drove the mainstream adoption of reasoning evaluations in LLM research.

LabelSets Quality Score

LQS is our 7-dimension quality score, computed from the dataset's published statistics. See methodology →

74
out of 100
silver tier

Solid dataset with some trade-offs

Composite score computed from the 7 dimensions below: completeness, uniqueness, validation health, size adequacy, format compliance, label density, and class balance.

Completeness 92
No public completeness metric; using prior for 'research_release' datasets.
Uniqueness 68
Minimal deduplication disclosed.
Validation 68
Crowdsourced labels without disclosed QC protocol.
Size adequacy 63
8,500 items — below 100,000 target for NLP / Text, but usable.
Format compliance 95
Industry-standard format — drop-in compatible with mainstream tooling.
Label density 52
Average 1.0 labels per item (sparse).
Class balance 75
Moderate class skew — realistic production distribution.
