|---|---|---|---|
| gemini-4-argon | Flagship | 76% | Not shown |
| gemini-3.5-flash-lite | Low cost | 76% | Not shown |
| gpt-6-luna | Low cost | 76% | Not shown |
| claude-haiku-5-5 | Low cost | 76% | Not shown |
Mastered means a probability of at least 90% that the model has this knobit, estimated from its graded answers. “Not shown” means the answers do not settle it either way. How the models are tested.
