DeepSeek’s own number for DeepSeekMath-V2 passed 85% in November 2025
All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.

Labs dropped it from launch posts once the best score passed 85%
Launch posts from every lab that has listed it, one tick per post. Tall colored ticks include it, and short gray ones leave it out.

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.
