> nearly as accurate as a human book keeper

Anything to avoid using the metric system.

Though seriously, what is this metric? Why would I care if an LLM is accurate as a human bookkeeper? Humans aren't exactly known for perfect recall.

Hey, author of the blog post here.

I was one of the human book-keepers for this benchmark (the preparer; my co-founder verified the VAT submission once ready), and given that at the time of doing this I knew I was eventually going to use this data for evaluating the models, I was super careful. So I guess this is a "good book-keeper". In the previous company our book-keepers made lots of mistakes; some serious enough that we had to restate our company's accounts.

It’s a service that provides an AI bookkeeper so it’s a pretty relevant metric.

You'd care if you had a human bookkeeper and you were considering replacing them with this company's AI bookkeeper.
