Agentic2 families · 0 with independent evidence · Supported18.8

2 core families; 5 direct opponents across 3 labs.

Estimated against the same complete panel: gpt-5.6-sol claude-opus-4-8 gemini-3.1-pro . Indirect comparisons assume performance can be summarized by one strength within this capability.

Refit without one family: 16.3–23.0; 2/13 scenarios unsupported. Without one publisher: 10.0–27.5; 1/15 unsupported. Smoothing check: 14.3–27.0; 0/3 unsupported. These are sensitivity checks, not confidence intervals.

Audit: family and publisher holdouts improved on neutral predictions within evaluated coverage; source sensitivity still requires inspection. Validation audit.

Matched family win shares below describe source evidence; they are not averaged to produce the adjusted score.

        Reported effort · Not specified

        Settings reported in this model's published benchmark results, including results outside the aggregate. Effort names are provider-specific. These are not API defaults or equal compute budgets.

        Mixed settings means multiple settings occur in the evidence. Best across efforts means the source selected its best reported result across settings; it does not mean Max. Unspecified settings stay unknown. This model-summary chart combines reported settings. The leaderboard keeps identified configurations separate and excludes unknown effort.

        Score contributions and missing evidence

        7 contributing families across 4 capabilities. Fixed reference panels do not change when the catalog expands.

        Capability is fitted jointly across families. Capability estimates below describe different task areas; their weighted sum is not the Capability score.

        Results without reviewed compatibility or a reference match remain in the raw evidence below. Coverage counts only contributing results.
