Card stats

  • Intelligence ▲ higher wins

    Intelligence Index: a composite score from 10 hard evaluations covering reasoning, knowledge, coding, agents and science.

    29.2

    beats 36% of deck

  • Hallucination ▼ lower wins

    Hallucination rate: of the questions a model gets wrong, how often it confidently makes up an answer instead of saying it doesn't know. Lower wins.

    18 %

    beats 97% of deck

  • Context ▲ higher wins

    Context window: how many tokens of input the model can consider at once.

    1M

    beats 65% of deck

  • Knowledge ▲ higher wins

    Training-data cutoff: the most recent month the model learned about. Later wins. N/D means the lab hasn't disclosed it, and an N/D card loses this stat.
