LiveSecBench 52.1 #19 of 34 Official leaderboard

Its lab's numbers put it at 145.1, number 130 of 404

The Self-Reported Index fits one score to the 21 capability results StepFun 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 142.2 to 148.0. How we compute it.

Its lab's numbers next to 4 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.
