DeepSeekMath-V2 leads with 98.3%

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.

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.

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.
