What the data says

Benchmarked on 11 of 27 tracked axes. Every figure below is the model's own published result on that board.

Strongest axes

  • 94.9 pct — Instruction following (1,475)
  • 94.4 pct — Hard prompts (1,503)
  • 93.9 pct — Overall (1,479)

Uneven: 49.8 percentile points between its best and worst axis — 94.9 pct on Instruction following versus 45.1 pct on SimpleQA Verified.

Percentiles are the model's standing within each board's own population. Axes marked "not benchmarked" have no published result for this model — that is an absence of data, not a low score.

We don't sync Ollama tags, so we won't print a command we can't verify — a wrong one would pull the wrong model. Search the Ollama library →

Every claim is a computed fact from the current board data, phrased by a low-temperature model call and rejected by a validation gate if any number is not in the source row. How the leaderboards work →
