System card reports it, from 1 lab
Gemini 4 Argon leads with 88%
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.
| # | Model | Score | Setting | Date | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gemini 4 Argon | 88% | Oct 2026 | Model card |
The best score passed 85% in Oct 2026
All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.
Reported by the lab in its model card
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.
One system card reports it
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.
