Coverage details

How much of this is verified

Coverage is split by category so a strong number never hides a thin evidence base. Verified means the row is tied to a published source; provisional rows remain visible but separate.

Coding opens by default. The marker compares each value with the best source-verified result in the catalog; provisional leaders do not set the reference. Expand the remaining categories for every published row.

Lineage

The sequence follows explicit supersedes links. Each score is estimated for that model; a relative can inform a sparse estimate but never sets a floor, so a newer release can score below an earlier one. Scores and prices remain blank when the corresponding public row or first-party rate is unavailable.

How to read this profile

The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.

We track Phi-3.5-mini, but the public leaderboard excludes this profile until enough non-generated benchmark coverage is available. Only published rows appear above.

Phi-3.5-mini is a open weight model with a 128K context window. No explicit reasoning mode is documented in this profile.

Official exact values from the Phi-3.5-mini-instruct model card benchmark tables. BenchLM stores mmlu, mmluPro, gpqa, mmmlu, bbh, gsm8k, humaneval, mgsm. Each value's source and evaluation setting is recorded in row-level source verification. Kept out of rankings because the published results cover few of the benchmarks BenchLM ranks on.

8 of 670 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.

Last updated October 14, 2026. Runtime fields remain blank until a sourced snapshot exists.

Deployment options

Self-host and provider-specific paths stay separate from benchmark evidence so operating constraints are visible before a score becomes the whole decision.

Published weights are available, but BenchLM does not yet have a sourced parameter and VRAM profile for this exact model. Hardware cost estimates stay unavailable until that sizing record is complete.

Questions

How does Phi-3.5-mini perform overall in AI benchmarks?

Phi-3.5-mini has 8 source-displayable benchmark rows, but it does not qualify for a public overall rank. The available rows remain visible by category without being converted into a site-wide score. Missing evidence stays blank instead of being estimated from an earlier model.

Is Phi-3.5-mini good for knowledge and understanding?

Phi-3.5-mini has source-displayable benchmark coverage for knowledge and understanding, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is Phi-3.5-mini good for coding and programming?

Phi-3.5-mini has source-displayable benchmark coverage for coding and programming, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is Phi-3.5-mini good for mathematics?

Phi-3.5-mini has source-displayable benchmark coverage for mathematics, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is Phi-3.5-mini good for reasoning and logic?

Phi-3.5-mini has source-displayable benchmark coverage for reasoning and logic, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is Phi-3.5-mini good for multilingual tasks?

Phi-3.5-mini has source-displayable benchmark coverage for multilingual tasks, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is Phi-3.5-mini open source?

Phi-3.5-mini is an open-weight model from Microsoft. Its weights can be downloaded for local or hosted deployment, subject to the published license. Open weight does not automatically mean open source: training data and training code may remain private, and commercial restrictions can still apply.

Does Phi-3.5-mini have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?

No. Phi-3.5-mini currently has 8 source-displayable rows across 670 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.

What is the context window size of Phi-3.5-mini?

Phi-3.5-mini has a reported context window of 128K in the exact-model catalog record. The value stays visible, but the profile marks its source link as unavailable instead of presenting it as directly documented. Maximum output length remains separate because providers often publish a different limit.
