Every per-benchmark score we hold for this model is reported by its own vendor, so none is counted toward an accuracy average or any ranking. The percentile above is its standing across the independent composites below.

Independent composite scores
  • AA Intelligence Index: 53.8 (Artificial Analysis composite across reasoning, knowledge and coding evals)
  • AA Agentic Index: 45.7 (Tool use, planning, autonomy)
  • AA-Omniscience Index: 26.4 (−100–100)
  • GDPval-AA v2: 1527.9 ELO (Real-world work tasks, human baseline = 1000)
  • LMSYS Chatbot Arena: 1468.8 ELO (Human preference)
How it stacks up
  • Ranks #11 of 133 comparably-measured models by percentile score, across 5 independent measurements
  • Ranks #73 of 133 comparably-tested models by normalized performance per dollar
