Its lab's numbers put it at 125.1, 3.9 points below its ECI

The Self-Reported Index fits one score to the 11 capability results Microsoft reported for this model, on the scale of the Epoch Capabilities Index. Labs choose which benchmarks to show and how to run them, so read it as the lab's claim, not an independent measurement. The 90% interval runs from 121.9 to 128.3. How we compute it.

Its lab's numbers next to 2 leaderboards

Where the benchmark's own leaderboard, or Epoch AI's run, also has this model. Gaps mostly come from different harnesses, effort levels and task subsets. Every pair.
