Showing 25 of 282
The BenchLM LLM leaderboard 2026 ranks 198+ models and tracks 282+ large language models side by side across 296 benchmarks — from SWE-bench and LiveCodeBench for coding to GPQA Diamond and MMLU-Pro for knowledge and reasoning. Whether you need the best AI models 2026 has to offer for agentic workflows, math, multilingual tasks, or instruction following, our AI benchmark comparison tables make it easy to see how GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Llama, and dozens of other frontier and open-source models stack up on both benchmarks and operator tradeoffs like price and context. Supported and Estimated labels separate evidence strength from score, so incomplete reporting does not automatically remove a model from the comparison.

Scoring methodology
Scoring methodology8 weighted categories, 29 ranking benchmarks, and 217 display-only records.Inspect method
Each model's overall score is a normalized weighted average of category averages. Within each category, benchmark results are normalized to a common scale and combined using weights that favor harder, less-saturated evaluations.
Confidence remains separate from score. It shows how much public benchmark evidence supports a result, while display-only benchmarks stay visible for context without receiving ranking weight.
Data comes from OpenBench, official model papers, and public leaderboards. External consensus signals are bounded calibration inputs and are not exposed in exported data.
