Range 116 to 124 · #189 of 271 models Epoch has scored

The index combines many benchmarks into one general-capability score; the range is how sure Epoch is of the number. Each area score is this site's average of the model's Epoch results in that area, where 0 is what guessing would score and 100 is perfect. Compare every model, and value for money →
