DriftBench: A Benchmark for Measuring LLM-Assisted Scientific Ideation Drift

DriftBench is a benchmark for measuring trajectory drift in multi-turn LLM-assisted scientific ideation. It evaluates whether models preserve fidelity to an original objective or drift toward locally coherent but globally misaligned elaborations. The dataset was created by 'anonymous-driftbench' and was last updated on May 1, 2026.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking model fidelity to original constraints based on the described evaluation of drift.
• Analyzing complexity inflation under iterative pressure as mentioned in the headline result.
• Comparing constraint adherence across different LLMs based on the reported performance of 5 out of 7 models.
• Studying the divergence between local coherence and global alignment in multi-turn conversations.

Strengths

• Headline result is reproducible from the dataset, as stated in the description.
• Evaluates 7 different models, providing a comparative basis.
• Focuses on a specific, measurable phenomenon: trajectory drift in iterative ideation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
