How we measure
- How are these benchmarks measured?
- Every model is called through OpenRouter's public API with the same 80 questions, each with one correct answer, plus 3 streamed speed runs. Every request and response is stored and hashed.
- Which datasets do the questions come from?
- SuperGPQA (50 questions, ODC-BY 1.0) and MMLU-Pro (30 questions, MIT). All are openly licensed and publicly available.
- How certain are the scores?
- Each model answers the same 80 questions, so a score has a 95% margin of roughly ±10 points. Comparisons only name a more accurate model when a two-proportion test puts the gap beyond chance at the 95% level.
- Why is a model listed without a score?
- Either it hasn't been run on the current question suite yet, or more than 20% of its requests failed on the host's side during testing, which is too many for a fair score. Its speed, latency and price are still measured.
- Is cost per question the list price?
- No. It is what the API billed for our questions, divided by the number of questions, so reasoning tokens a model spends thinking are included. List prices are shown separately.
