MTEB Leaderboard Query Skill

This skill provides guidance for accurately querying machine learning model leaderboards and benchmarks, particularly the Massive Text Embedding Benchmark (MTEB) and related embedding leaderboards.

When to Use This Skill

• Finding top-performing models on specific benchmarks (MTEB, Scandinavian Embedding Benchmark, etc.)
• Answering questions about current leaderboard standings
• Comparing model performance across different benchmarks
• Tasks with specific temporal requirements (e.g., "as of August 2025")

Core Approach

Step 1: Identify Authoritative Data Sources

Before searching for results, establish which sources contain authoritative, current data:
