Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct-1M leads with 8.76 among models released by Jan 2025

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 newest model with a score here came out in Jan 2025, and nobody has reported a newer one. Among the 20 highest-ranked models on the capability index, these have no score yet:

  1. 1 Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct-1M 8.76
