GPT-5.6 Sol leads with 95%

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.

OpenAI’s own number for GPT-5.5 passed 85% in April 2026

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