Capabilities
struck through = not supportedBenchmark performance
accuracy % · higher is betterWe 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.
- AA-Omniscience Index: -46.5 (−100–100)
