Run it yourself

Deploy this open model on rented GPUs

Open weights mean you can self-host instead of paying per-token API prices. These platforms let you serve it on demand — often cheaper at scale.

Partner links — we may earn a commission if you sign up, at no cost to you. We only list platforms we'd recommend regardless.

Benchmark performance

accuracy % · higher is better
Percentile vs all tracked models 23.6th3 independent measurements
Percentile per $/Mtok 23.6

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-Omniscience Index: -41.9 (−100–100)
  • GDPval-AA v2: 764.2 ELO (Real-world work tasks, human baseline = 1000)
  • LMSYS Chatbot Arena: 1424.3 ELO (Human preference)
How it stacks up
  • Ranks #141 of 194 comparably-measured models by percentile score, across 3 independent measurements
  • Ranks #129 of 194 comparably-tested models by normalized performance per dollar
