Tasks and capabilities
A grade appears only where the source supplies a matching measurement for that task, the model is active and the cohort holds at least 10 comparable models. The capability column lists facts the source declares — supported formats, reasoning and tool parameters — which are not measured quality.
| Task | Grade | Source-declared capability |
|---|---|---|
| General quality | CC — below the B band | reasoning: optional · default high · efforts: high, low, none · parameters: include_reasoning, reasoning, reasoning_effort |
| Coding | CC — below the B band | — |
| Agents | CC — below the B band | parameters: structured_outputs, tool_choice, tools |
| Writing | No measurement | output: text |
| Reasoning | No measurement | reasoning: optional · default high · efforts: high, low, none · parameters: include_reasoning, reasoning, reasoning_effort |
| Document analysis | No measurement | — |
| Vision | No measurement | — |
| Image generation | No measurement | — |
| Audio | No measurement | — |

How grades work
Each letter grade compares a model only against other models scored by the same source and metric in the current snapshot. S means the top 10%, A the next 20%, B the next 30%, C the rest. Models without a published measurement are shown as not rated — a supported format alone never implies measured quality.
- S — S — top 10% of the cohort
- A — A — next 20% of the cohort
- B — B — next 30% of the cohort
- C — C — below the B band
