ECI points are estimates, not percentages. Overlapping intervals do not establish a winner. Nearby score does not mean equivalent capability.

INDEPENDENT EVALUATIONS

Results in context

Where does it sit?

Five nearest ECI estimates · current snapshot, not release-time scores.

Loading chart

Overlapping intervals do not establish a clear winner. ECI combines source-selected benchmarks; points are not percentages. Snapshot 2026-10-24.

Test by test

No approved benchmark evaluation is linked to this exact model ID. Another version’s score is not substituted.

Each row is a different test, not a common difficulty scale. “Max” does not mean equal compute across providers.

What changes your bill?
