What the data says

Benchmarked on 18 of 27 tracked axes. Every figure below is the model's own published result on that board.

Strongest axes

  • 100 pct — Terminal-Bench (84.7%)
  • 99.7 pct — LiveBench (79.9%)
  • 96.5 pct — Factuality Arena (1,486)

Uneven: 43.8 percentile points between its best and worst axis — 100 pct on Terminal-Bench versus 56.2 pct on HHEM Hallucination (Vectara).

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.
