GPT-5 (high)
According to BenchLM.ai, GPT-5 (high) ranks #22 out of 115 models on the provisional leaderboard with an overall score of 78/100. It does not yet have enough sourced coverage for BenchLM's verified leaderboard. This places it in the mid-tier of AI models, with strengths in specific benchmark categories.
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 1 of 193 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 Multimodal & Grounded (#7), while its weakest is Mathematics (#34). This performance profile makes it particularly strong for screenshots, documents, charts, and grounded multimodal workflows.
