Ability by area (SI-IQ, 90% interval)

Every benchmark result we used

Each score is one value exactly as the source published it: for Epoch AI the best of its run settings, for OpenRouter the median hosting provider (the developer's own hosting when it ran the test). “Implied SI-IQ” is the ability that this single result points to; the overall SI-IQ is their precision-weighted average.
