The published AA-IFBench snapshot is tightly clustered at the top: MiniMax M3 sits at 82.9%, while the third row is only 1.6 points behind. The broader top-10 spread is 5.7 points, so many of the published scores sit in a relatively narrow band.
126 models have been evaluated on AA-IFBench. The benchmark falls in the Instruction Following category. This category carries a 5% weight in BenchLM.ai's overall scoring system. AA-IFBench is currently displayed for reference but excluded from the scoring formula, so it does not directly affect overall rankings.
