GPT-5 (high) ranks #63 out of 200 models on the public leaderboard with an overall score of 58.61/100. It does not yet have enough sourced coverage for BenchLM's verified leaderboard. While not a frontier model, it offers specific advantages depending on the use case.
GPT-5 (high) is a proprietary model with a 128K token context window. It uses explicit chain-of-thought reasoning, which typically improves performance on math and complex reasoning tasks at the cost of higher latency and token usage.
GPT-5 (high) sits inside the GPT-5 family alongside GPT-5 (medium), GPT-5 mini, GPT-5 nano. This profile currently has 20 of 321 tracked benchmarks. BenchLM only exposes non-generated benchmark rows publicly, so missing categories stay blank until a sourced evaluation is available.
Its strongest category is Agentic (#47). This performance profile makes it particularly useful for coding agents, browser research, and computer-use workflows.
Peer position
Exact provisional scores and ranks for the closest listed peers. A score can appear before a model clears the evidence threshold for a rank, so equal scores can have different rank states.
