Definition and comparison boundarypublic methodology
Can the model reason accurately about difficult scientific material?
Scientific knowledge and reasoning under the benchmark's published question set. Higher is better. The value is the percentage reported in this lab's table.
Harness, tools, prompts, attempt count, and benchmark version can materially change the result. Compare within one reporting context.
