11 published rows leave some tracked benchmark slots empty. Agentic is its lowest eligible category at #84.

Decision snapshot

Each value carries a field reference instead of floating alone. Markers compare this model with the current ranked and priced catalog; they are not absolute quality thresholds.

Capability shape

Each axis shows percentile within that category’s eligible cohort. The comparison outline is the median of the six nearest public-score peers; a collapsed vertex means the category is not rank-eligible.

What it costs to get this score

Published API price against the public score. The x-axis uses a log scale; the dashed path marks models that are not beaten by a cheaper, higher-scoring option. Price uses average of published input and output rates.

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.

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.

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.

Step 3.7 Flash ranks #126 of 228 on the public leaderboard with a score of 51.05/100. It does not yet have enough sourced coverage for a verified position.

Step 3.7 Flash is a open weight model with a 256K context window. It uses an explicit reasoning mode, which can improve complex problem solving while adding latency and token use.

Official exact-value snapshot from StepFun's May 29, 2026 Step 3.7 Flash launch page and model card. BenchLM maps only the directly comparable public values; Step-SWE-Bench, ResearchRubrics, HR-Bench, VisualProbe, and the separate Hugging Face HLE 48.1 row remain out of schema or setup-ambiguous for now.

Its explicit predecessor is Step 3.5 Flash. 11 of 408 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.

Its strongest eligible category is Coding at #75, while its lowest eligible position is Agentic at #84. particularly well-suited for software development and code generation tasks.

Frequently asked questions

How does Step 3.7 Flash perform overall in AI benchmarks?

Step 3.7 Flash ranks #126 out of 228 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 51.05/100. Its evidence status is Estimated, and this profile shows 11 source-displayable benchmark rows. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.

Is Step 3.7 Flash good for coding and programming?

Step 3.7 Flash ranks #75 out of 146 eligible models for coding and programming, with a public category score of 50.8/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is Step 3.7 Flash good for agentic tool use and computer tasks?

Step 3.7 Flash ranks #84 out of 140 eligible models for agentic tool use and computer tasks, with a public category score of 45.6/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is Step 3.7 Flash good for multimodal and grounded tasks?

Step 3.7 Flash has source-displayable benchmark coverage for multimodal and grounded 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 Step 3.7 Flash open source?

Step 3.7 Flash is an open-weight model from StepFun. 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 Step 3.7 Flash have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?

No. Step 3.7 Flash currently has 29 source-displayable rows across 408 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 Step 3.7 Flash?

Step 3.7 Flash has a reported context window of 256K 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.
