Definition and comparison boundarypublic methodology
Can the model solve difficult problems that require more than factual recall?
Multi-step reasoning on academic, mathematical, or abstract problems. 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.
Frontier comparison and across-modes table; exact effort labels are kept on configurations.
