# GalicianBench

### Paper

GalicianBench is a benchmark for evaluating language models in Galician tasks. This is, it evaluates the ability of a language model to understand and generate Galician text. GalicianBench offers a combination of pre-existing, open datasets and datasets developed exclusivelly for this benchmark. All the details of GalicianBench will be published in a paper soon.

The new evaluation datasets included in GalicianBench are:

### Checklist

* [x] Is the task an existing benchmark in the literature?
  * [ ] Have you referenced the original paper that introduced the task?
  * [ ] If yes, does the original paper provide a reference implementation?
    * [ ] Yes, original implementation contributed by author of the benchmark

If other tasks on this dataset are already supported:
* [ ] Is the "Main" variant of this task clearly denoted?
* [ ] Have you provided a short sentence in a README on what each new variant adds / evaluates?
* [ ] Have you noted which, if any, published evaluation setups are matched by this variant?

### Changelog

* v1.1 (2026-01-16, PR #3465): excluded line breaks from stop criteria in `mgsm_direct_gl`
