Grok 4.6 61.0 leads since August 2026
In use

Version 4.1 of Artificial Analysis's index, which moved to GDPval-AA v2, Terminal-Bench 2.1 and τ³-Banking and put the most weight on agents.

In use from June to September 2026, with 4.1.1 (August 2026) changing the τ³-Banking dataset and the graders for HLE, AA-LCR and AA-Omniscience. Components: GDPval-AA v2, τ³-Banking, Terminal-Bench 2.1, SciCode, AA-LCR, AA-Omniscience (accuracy 8%, non-hallucination 4%), Humanity's Last Exam, GPQA Diamond and CritPt. Weights: Agents 34%, Coding 24%, Scientific Reasoning 24%, General 18%. IFBench left the index.

Grok 4.6 leads with 61.0 among models released by August 2026

Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.

The newest model with a score here came out in August 2026, and nobody has reported a newer one. Among the 20 highest-ranked models on the capability index, these have no score yet:

  1. 1 Grok 4.6 61.0
  2. 2 GPT-5.6 Sol 58.9
  3. 3 Kimi K3 57.1
  4. 4 GLM-5.3-Flash 57.0
  5. 5 Gemini 3.7 Flash 56.0
  6. 6 GPT-5.6 Terra 55.0
  7. 7 GPT-5.6 Luna 51.2
  8. 8 Inkling-Small 40.0
