Llama 3.1-405B 58.7% leads since July 2024 Llama 3.1-405B 58.7% leads since July 2024 Models write function calls for queries over real-world APIs, including nested and parallel calls. Scoring is the function calling success rate.
Nexusflow released 8 of its 9 tasks and kept one internal to limit overfitting.

Llama 3.1-405B leads with 58.7% among models released by July 2024
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.
GPT-4 Turbo leads with 54.2% 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.
Llama 3.1-405B leads with 58.7%, 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 2024, and nobody has reported a newer one. Among the 20 highest-ranked models on the capability index, these have no score yet:
