GPT-6.1 Terra leads with 8.47%

Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.

  1. 1 GPT-6.1 Terra 8.47%
  2. 2 GPT-6 Luna 11.1%
  3. 3 GPT-6 Sol 11.3%

Labs report it only in system cards

We read the headline results of 479 launch posts from 51 labs, and none of them list this benchmark. Some system cards do, below.

4 system cards report it, from 1 lab

Besides launch posts, we read the system cards, model cards and technical reports labs publish with a release. They report far more, including safety and frontier-risk tests.
