Ranking basis

How to read this research edition

  • Scores stay on their original publisher scales. They are not combined into a composite score.

  • Missing data does not mean zero. It means the publisher did not report that metric for this snapshot.

  • When a source reports model settings, the position applies to that exact setup and source release—not every task, region, or deployment.

  • No provider can pay for placement. OpenGPT links directly to the evidence used.
