ScoreHow the CAIS Text Leaderboard is shown here
BenchLM mirrors the CAIS AI Dashboard text-capability view as a simple average over hle, arc_agi_2, swebench_pro, textquests. The source dashboard publishes the component benchmark scores and model metadata used here.
The CAIS Text Leaderboard is display only on BenchLM. It is a composite dashboard view rather than a single benchmark-native task set, so BenchLM keeps it out of weighted rankings.
Snapshot
The published CAIS Text Leaderboard snapshot places GPT-5.5 first at 54.1%. The third row is 1.2 points behind. The broader top-10 range is 18.5 points, so the table still separates the published systems.
25 models have been evaluated on CAIS Text Leaderboard. The benchmark falls in the Cross-domain category. We keep external benchmark mirrors separate from the weighted global scoring system, so these results remain source-specific evidence. CAIS Text Leaderboard is currently displayed for reference but excluded from the scoring formula, so it does not directly affect overall rankings.
