How to read this
- Selected highlight scores from our March 19, 2026 EuroEval (v16.11.0) runs across Norwegian, Swedish, Danish and Icelandic.
- We show only the strongest areas, not a full leaderboard.
- Tasks use different metrics (MCC, F1, BERTScore), so scores should be read as individual highlights rather than one combined ranking.
Key findings
- Danish is the strongest language overall: 79.3% on Danish Citizen Tests.
- Named entity recognition is strong where we measured it: 71.0% F1 on Nynorsk and 63.6% on Icelandic.
- Reading comprehension leads in Danish and Swedish, both above 72% F1.
- The 8-bit model outperforms 4-bit on every evaluated task: about 2% on average, up to 6.6% on Bokmål acceptability.
