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 25.6th4 independent measurements
Percentile per $/Mtok 18.3

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: 28.7 (Artificial Analysis composite across reasoning, knowledge and coding evals)
  • AA Agentic Index: 17.7 (Tool use, planning, autonomy)
  • AA-Omniscience Index: -41.7 (−100–100)
  • LMSYS Chatbot Arena: 1425 ELO (Human preference)
How it stacks up
  • Ranks #93 of 133 comparably-measured models by percentile score, across 4 independent measurements
  • Ranks #77 of 133 comparably-tested models by normalized performance per dollar
