Model scored in lab cards

Launch post lists it, from 1 lab

System card reports it, from 1 lab

Gemini Robotics ER 2 leads with 93%

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.

Gemini Robotics ER 2 leads with 93% across all independent runs

Best score per model across the official leaderboard, Epoch AI’s own runs and any board Epoch AI copied. Each bar and row names its source.

One system card reports it

Besides launch posts, we read the system cards, model cards and technical reports labs publish with a release. They report far more, including safety and frontier-risk tests.

Jul 29, 2026	Gemini Robotics ER 2 technical report	93	Human Safety Monitoring: Accuracy at 1m (Single Frame), MAE 0.36 m (Fig. 5). Lab humanoid test: 99% human detection accuracy (2.2)	Safety

One lab claim next to the leaderboard

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.
