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

  • 93.1 pct — LiveCodeBench (Artificial Analysis) (82.6%)
  • 86.4 pct — IFBench (Artificial Analysis) (72.3%)

Weakest axes

  • 4.7 pct — Factuality Arena (1,360)

Uneven: 88.4 percentile points between its best and worst axis — 93.1 pct on LiveCodeBench (Artificial Analysis) versus 4.7 pct on Factuality Arena.

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.
