Qwen-14B leads with 93.5% among models released by November 2023
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 November 2023, and nobody has reported a newer one. Among the 20 highest-ranked models on the capability index, these have no score yet:
- Claude Fable 5.2
-
Gemini 4 Carbon - GPT-6 Astra
- Claude Opus 5.5
- and 16 more

Qwen’s own number for Qwen-14B passed 85% in September 2023
All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.
