Magistral Medium 1.0 leads with 87.4%

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.

The best score passed 85% in Jun 2025

All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.
