Llama 3.1-405B leads with 83.2% among models released by Jul 2024

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 Jul 2024, and nobody has reported a newer one. Among the 20 highest-ranked models on the capability index, these have no score yet:

  1. 1 Llama 3.1-405B 83.2%
  2. 2 Llama 3.1-70B 78.2%
  3. 3 Llama 3.1-8B 58.6%
