GPT-5.5 leads with 98.5% among models released by July 2026
Best score per model from MathArena’s leaderboard, read on November 12th, 2026. Where a model ran with several settings or harnesses, we keep its best. Every run is in the next chart.
GPT-5.5 leads with 98.5%, claims included
Best score per model from every source, including labs’ own numbers and claims Epoch AI collected from reports and papers. Labs pick their own settings, so a claim can beat an independent run of the same model.
The newest model with a score here came out in July 2026, and nobody has tested a newer one. Among the 20 highest-ranked models on the capability index, these have no score yet:

The lab's number comes out ahead in 2 of 4 pairs that differ
Each score a lab reported for its own model, beside the same model's best score on the leaderboard. Gaps mostly come from different harnesses, effort levels and task subsets. 1 of them match, which usually means one side copied the other. Every benchmark.
| Model | Lab says | Board says | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLM-5.1 | 82.6% HMMT Feb. 2026 | 89.4% Leaderboard | −6.8 pts |
| Kimi K2.6 | 92.7% HMMT 2026 (Feb) | 94.7% Leaderboard, high | −2.0 pts |

Versions
We switch the top row to each new version when it comes out. Open it for one row per version. An old version stays in play while people still test it, so whoever first takes it past 85% gets credit for closing it out.
