What the data says

Benchmarked on 9 of 27 tracked axes. Every figure below is the model's own published result on that board.

Uneven: 65.9 percentile points between its best and worst axis — 82.1 pct on IFBench (Artificial Analysis) versus 16.2 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.

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 →
