Why This Leaderboard Is Worth Your Attention

Real Code Execution
Looking like it can code isn't enough. We run the code in a sandbox. If it doesn't pass, it's zero.
Citation Verification
For long-document questions, we don't just check if the answer looks right — we verify citations trace back to the source.
Statistical Rankings
We don't judge on a single run. Rankings are based on rolling averages, avoiding luck-driven fluctuations.
No Sponsored Benchmarks
No co-evaluations, no pre-test consultations, no favoritism. Whatever the results are, that's what we publish.
