Benchmark performance

accuracy % · higher is better
Percentile vs all tracked models 57.2th4 independent measurements
Percentile per $/Mtok 51.1

We hold no per-benchmark accuracy scores for this model yet, so it has no accuracy average. That is a gap in our coverage, not a sign the model is untested — independent evaluators often publish a composite index for a new model long before releasing its per-benchmark numbers. The percentile above is its standing across the independent composites below.

Independent composite scores
  • AA Intelligence Index: 40.5 (Artificial Analysis composite across reasoning, knowledge and coding evals)
  • AA Agentic Index: 29 (Tool use, planning, autonomy)
  • AA-Omniscience Index: 0.9 (−100–100)
  • LMSYS Chatbot Arena: 1443.3 ELO (Human preference)
How it stacks up
  • Ranks #48 of 150 comparably-measured models by percentile score, across 4 independent measurements
  • Ranks #45 of 150 comparably-tested models by normalized performance per dollar
