Data contamination in language model evaluation is increasingly prevalent as the popularity of large language models. It allows models to "cheat" via memorisation instead of displaying true capabilities. Therefore, contamination analysis has became an crucial part of reliable model evaluation to validate results. However, existing contamination analysis is usually conducted internally by LLM developers and often lacks transparency and completeness. This paper present an open source data contamination reports for the Llama series models. We analyse six popular multi-choice QA benchmarks and quantify their overlapping with the training set of Llama. Various levels of contamination ranging from 1\% to 8.7\% are found across benchmarks. Our comparison also reveals that Llama models can gain over 5\% higher accuracy on contaminated subsets versus clean subsets.
