A FIELD GUIDE TO THE NUMBERS

Less benchmark jargon.
More useful answers.

A benchmark asks a model to do a particular kind of work. Knowing what the test asks is more useful than knowing who came first.

AI AGENT STORE RATING

Agent Fit

A score based on LiveBench test results, giving more importance to the skills your chosen task needs. Use it to build a shortlist. It does not predict how often your complete agent will succeed.

AI AGENT STORE RATING

Practical Value

Combines task ability and estimated cost: 70% Agent Fit and 30% affordability by default. We compare costs across these 61 models using your usage. Change the slider to choose how much price matters. This rating is not a savings estimate.

AI AGENT STORE RATING

Evidence Consensus

Shows how the same 10 model versions and settings rank in both LiveBench tests and Arena user votes, giving each source equal weight. A blank means a matching result is missing. This is a comparison of that group, not every available model.

MEASURE EXPLAINED

LiveBench

Automatically checked tasks in seven areas: reasoning, coding, agentic coding, mathematics, data analysis, language and instruction following. Overall is the equal-weight category mean. All rows use the 2026-06-25 question set.

MEASURE EXPLAINED

Arena preference

People compare answers without knowing which model wrote them. A higher rating means more preferred answers, not a percent correct. Published ± ranges can overlap; small score gaps may not mean a real difference.

MEASURE EXPLAINED

Reasoning

Can it work through constraints and connect clues? LiveBench uses spatial, navigation, perspective-taking and logic-puzzle tasks. Useful for planning, but not a direct test of long-running agents.

MEASURE EXPLAINED

Coding

Can it write or complete code that passes tests? These are contained programming problems, not entire software projects.

MEASURE EXPLAINED

Agentic coding

Can it edit code in a tool-using workflow? LiveBench tests JavaScript, TypeScript and Python tasks. Results depend on the testing software and tools as well as the model.

MEASURE EXPLAINED

Mathematics

Can it solve difficult quantitative problems with checkable answers? Strong math is useful evidence of reasoning, but does not guarantee better writing or tool use.

MEASURE EXPLAINED

Data analysis

Can it join and reformat tables and reason about event sequences? Useful for agents that process structured business information.

MEASURE EXPLAINED

Language

Can it interpret word relationships, reconstruct plots and correct typos? This is a narrow language test, not a full measure of writing quality or multilingual coverage.

MEASURE EXPLAINED

Instruction following

Can it follow requested constraints while rewriting, simplifying, summarizing and composing text? Relevant to agents that must return a specific format.

MEASURE EXPLAINED

Context window

How much information a model can hold in one request, usually including your input and its response. It is measured in tokens, the pieces of text a model processes. Check your service’s exact limit. A larger window does not guarantee better understanding.

MEASURE EXPLAINED

Workload cost

Estimated text API bill: requests × (input tokens × input price + output tokens × output price) ÷ 1,000,000. Include billed reasoning in output. Recorded model-specific context tiers apply; caching, tools, retries, taxes, hosting and other premiums are excluded.

MEASURE EXPLAINED

Tool calling

The provider says the model can ask your application to use a tool, such as searching a database or running code. Test whether it chooses the right tool and supplies the right information.

BFCL V4

Berkeley tests selecting functions, supplying arguments, multi-turn tool use, search and memory. Its older model configurations are shown separately and never substituted for newer releases.

A DIFFERENT TEST. A DIFFERENT SNAPSHOT.

Tool-use evidence: Berkeley BFCL V4

These published configurations are from an older, separate evaluation, last updated 12 April 2026. They are useful context for understanding tool use; they do not measure the latest versions in our model table and are excluded from our aggregate ratings. FC means the model uses a built-in feature for requesting tools; Prompt means the tools are described in the instructions.

GROUNDED ANSWERS NEED THEIR OWN TEST

Hallucination is not one universal number.

Vectara’s document-summary evaluation checks whether an answer stays supported by the supplied document. The 2026-09-22 snapshot below uses Vectara’s exact named configurations, not the reasoning configurations in our LiveBench table. GPT-6.1 Sol and Claude Sonnet 5.5 do not have verified matching observations here.

These rates do not predict factual accuracy on open-ended questions or autonomous tasks. Also check how often the model answered and how the answers were graded. We therefore keep them out of our scores. Read the dataset, configurations and limitations ↗
