Scoring Methodology

Each model's overall score is a normalized weighted average of category averages. Within each category, benchmark scores are combined using per-benchmark weights that favor harder, less-saturated evaluations. Scores are normalized so models with partial benchmark coverage are not unfairly penalized. Each score includes a confidence indicator (1-4 dots) showing how much verified data supports it — models with no verified benchmarks are marked as estimated. Display-only benchmarks like MMLU, HumanEval, SWE-bench Verified, BBH, FLTEval, and the AIME/HMMT exams remain visible but are excluded from scoring.
