What this dataset is (and is not)
SASEval evaluates a context governor — the layer that sits between an application and a downstream LLM and decides which context, memory, and generation policy reach the model under a token/latency budget. This dataset is the test-suite input for that protocol: the prompts a governor must optimize and the gold answers used to grade whether the optimized prompt still yields a correct downstream answer.
- ✅ It is a stress set of realistic enterprise prompts spanning compression, long-context, multi-doc, conversational, and memory workloads, each with short gold answers.
- ❌ It is not a model-capability benchmark (like MMLU/HotpotQA). Scores depend on the governor under test and the grading panel you pair with it — not on this data alone.
Composition
Exactly 100 prompts per category, 10 categories (uniform, N = 1,000):
| Category | N | Character |
|---|---|---|
simple_factual |
100 | Short enterprise/technical Q&A, low compressibility |
bloated_factual |
100 | A simple question wrapped in corporate-email filler/politeness |
reasoning |
100 | Multi-step quantitative business problems (SLA math, unit economics, capacity) |
bloated_reasoning |
100 | Same, wrapped in verbose filler |
technical_code |
100 | Code review, debugging, API/config; short-token answers |
long_document_qa |
100 | 250–450-word enterprise doc (policy/postmortem/SOW/RFC/SLA) + question |
multi_document_qa |
100 | 4–6 labeled snippets with distractors + question |
conversational |
100 | 2–4 turn support dialog ending on an implicit-context question |
memory_recall |
100 | Stored profile/account/config facts + retrieval question |
memory_update |
100 | Stale fact → correction → question requiring the latest value |
Enterprise domains sampled include cloud/DevOps, fintech & payments, HIPAA SaaS, logistics, IAM/security, data platforms, e-commerce, telecom, manufacturing ERP, insurance, CRM, and legal.
Schema (per JSON line)
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
id |
string | Stable id, e.g. sas1k-0421 |
category |
string | One of the 10 categories above |
prompt |
string | The user prompt fed to the governor (may embed a document/dialog/memory block) |
golds |
string[] | Acceptable short answers; grading is case-insensitive substring match against any entry |
target_action |
float[5] | Category-conditioned SAS solvency target [c, T, p, d, L/2048] |
T |
float | Canonical grader temperature for the category |
top_p |
float | Canonical nucleus-sampling top-p |
mode |
string | DEEP (reasoning) or STRICT (direct) |
max_new |
int | Canonical max answer tokens for the category |
durable |
string[] | (memory categories) facts a correct governor must retain |
stale |
string[] | (memory categories) outdated facts a correct governor should drop |
_gold_repaired |
bool | (present when true) numeric key was replaced by the verification pass |
_needs_review |
bool | (present when true) item flagged as likely ill-posed — filter before use |
Category target actions follow Appendix B of the SASEval paper, e.g.:
simple_factual c=0.10 T=0.30 p=0.90 d=0 L=128
reasoning c=0.20 T=0.20 p=0.90 d=1 L=768
long_document_qa c=0.45 T=0.20 p=0.90 d=1 L=512
multi_document_qa c=0.55 T=0.20 p=0.90 d=1 L=512
Example records
{"id":"sas1k-0881","category":"memory_update",
"prompt":"The security policy previously required Kubernetes clusters to use version 1.22. A recent update mandates a minimum version of 1.25. What is the current minimum supported Kubernetes version for new clusters?",
"golds":["1.25","kubernetes 1.25","version 1.25"],
"target_action":[0.45,0.2,0.9,1,0.25],"T":0.2,"top_p":0.9,"mode":"DEEP","max_new":512,
"durable":["1.25"],"stale":["1.22"]}
How it was built
- Authoring (batch):
qwen/qwen3-32bgenerated the prompts and gold answers via the Groq Batch API (253 requests), category-by-category with enterprise domain rotation and a strict "short canonical golds" instruction. - Numeric verification (batch): every
reasoning/bloated_reasoningitem was independently re-solved byllama-3.3-70b-versatileatT=0. Where the independent solve disagreed with the authored key, the key was replaced — 71 of 200 numeric golds (35.5%) were repaired, confirming LLM self-authored arithmetic keys are unreliable without a check. - Assembly: de-duplicated by prompt, trimmed to 100/category, target actions attached
deterministically,
_needs_reviewflags added heuristically for ill-posed rate/percentage items.
Reproduction scripts: saseval_gen_1k.py (authoring) and saseval_repair.py (verification/top-up),
in the repository root.
Intended use
- Primary: run the SASEval protocol — send each
promptto a context governor, forward the optimized prompt to a frozen 3-model LLM panel, grade panel answers againstgoldsby substring match, and compute per-prompt SAS =700·Q + 200·C·ρ + 100·s. - Also useful for: prompt-compression evaluation, long-context/multi-doc retention tests, and
memory-freshness diagnostics (
durable/stale).
Reference pilot result (context)
An N=20 stratified pilot on the live api.cosavu.com STAN governor (panel: Llama-3.3-70B,
Qwen3-32B, GPT-OSS-120B via Groq) produced the ordering
stan-1.5-mini-thinking (799.6) ≻ predictive (780.3) ≻ Identity (763.7) ≻ instant (626.0) ≻ random-drop (561.9),
stable across all weight and panel leave-one-out perturbations. The full N=1,000 run is pending.
Limitations & known issues
- LLM-authored keys. Keys are model-generated. The
reasoning/bloated_reasoningslice is the least reliable; despite the verification pass, treat it as the highest-risk category and prefer a human/deterministic recheck for production leaderboards. _needs_review(14 items). Rate/percentage questions where the verifier returned a large integer — likely ill-posed. Filter these out for strict use.- Substring grading is lenient. Some
long_document_qa/multi_document_qaitems list several distinct facts ingoldsrather than variants of one answer, so a mention of any counts as correct. ~41 gold strings exceed 4 words. - Memory annotations partial. 176/200 memory items carry both
durableandstale; the rest carrydurableonly. - English only; synthetic. Enterprise scenarios are realistic but fictional; no PII, no real customer data.
Grading normalization (reference)
import re
def norm(t): return re.sub(r"[^a-z0-9 ]", " ", t.lower())
def graded(answer, golds):
n = norm(answer)
return int(any(norm(g) in n for g in golds)) # 1 if any gold is a substring
