s=f(θ,H)s = f(\theta, H)

Why this formula appears here

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 θ\theta 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(θ\theta, H) = f(θ\theta', H') , and a mismatch could in principle come from either argument.
