o3 ranks #131 out of 200 models on the public leaderboard with an overall score of 47.89/100. It also ranks #67 out of 99 on the verified leaderboard. While not a frontier model, it offers specific advantages depending on the use case.
o3 is a proprietary model with a 200K 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.
o3 sits inside the o3 family alongside o3-mini, o3-pro. This profile currently has 16 of 321 tracked benchmarks. BenchLM only exposes non-generated benchmark rows publicly, so missing categories stay blank until a sourced evaluation is available.
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.
