GPT-4o leads with 93.8 among models released by March 2025

Best score per entry from the benchmark's own leaderboard, read on November 12th, 2026. Where a model ran with several settings or harnesses, we keep its best. Names in gray aren't in our model list: fine-tunes, agent systems, products and older models. They don't count toward leaders.

The newest model with a score here came out in March 2025, and nobody has tested a newer one. Among the 20 highest-ranked models on the capability index, these have no score yet:
