Intern-S1 75.0 leads since Jul 2025 Fading

Models predict properties of inorganic materials in 13 supervised tasks built from DFT and experimental data. Scored with error or classification metrics per task.

Built for materials ML models. Intern-S models report an LLM version of its property prediction tasks, and the exact subset is not stated.

Made by Materials Project (Dunn, Wang, Ganose, Dopp, Jain) Released May 2020 Research science All tasks public Last in a launch post Feb 2026 , dropped before it saturated Last model added Mar 2026
Level
Expert Specialists with years of training, often over hours of work
Scored
Checked automatically A program checks the result against an answer key, unit tests or the expected final state.

Intern-S1 leads with 75.0

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.

Scores over time

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