AI4Fire: Evaluating Large Language Models on Wildfire Tasks

Large language models (LLMs) are entering wildfire management, where overstated evaluations can cost property and lives.

Key points

  • How do they perform on wildfire tasks, with and without grounding?
  • Bare means a model receives the task input alone.
  • Grounded means it also receives one task-specific addition: for smoke detection, a smoke-free reference frame from the same camera.
  • AI4Fire runs six core models bare and grounded on five wildfire tasks, zero-shot; a sweep adds 29 more.
