What this part means
The expressions on both sides represent the same quantity under the stated assumptions.
Its job in the formula
The equals sign connects the complete expression on the left with the complete expression on the right. Both sides must have compatible units.

The passage around this formula
Treat a published benchmark score as the output of a function of two arguments: the weights being scored, and the procedure used to score them. Here denotes the model’s parameters and H denotes everything about the evaluation procedure that is not the model itself — the exact prompt template, the number of few-shot examples, whether a chat template is applied, how the model’s free-text output is parsed into a scored answer, and the decoding configuration. A vendor publishes one value of s . An independent lab computing its own s' is implicitly testing whether f(, H) = f(', H') , and a mismatch could in principle come from either argument.
Learn the underlying idea
An equals sign says that the expression on its left and the expression on its right have the same value under the stated definitions and assumptions.
