Temporal reasoning with search

Only in system cards

Models with search answer real queries that test date arithmetic, stale facts and time-sensitive context. Reports error rate.

In-house Google DeepMind evaluation. The tasks are not public.

Model scored in lab cards

System card reports it, from 1 lab

Gemini 4 Argon leads with 11.8%

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.

Scores over time

All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.

Labs report it only in system cards

We read the headline results of 522 launch posts from 52 labs, and none of them list this benchmark. Some system cards do, below.

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.
