Overview
Identity
- Canonical model
- Yesidentity confidence: highOne row per real model release. Artifacts (checkpoints, quantisations, conversions) and folded evaluation variants point here.
- Official checkpoints
- None recordedofficial_checkpoints = hf_repo identifiers carried by the model itself; artifacts are separate entities pointing here through canonical_id.
- Artifacts
- None recordedSeparate entities (checkpoint · quantization · conversion · packaging) pointing to this model through canonical_id.
- Provider deployments
- None recorded
- API aliases
- gemini-3.8-live-extended-thinkingIdentifiers under which providers and evaluators refer to this model.
- Folded evaluation variants
- 0Effort / thinking variants (…-high, …-non-reasoning) are result configurations of this model, not separate models. Their old URLs redirect here.

Claims are temporal and append-only: a new observation closes the previous claim (valid_to) instead of overwriting it. Conflicting claims from different sources are kept side by side and flagged — never averaged. Methodology →

Tier 1 = official/primary, 2 = quality secondary, 3 = community, 4 = unverified. Every snapshot is archived; see all sources and the methodology.
Data quality (75/100) measures how well AI Atlas knows this entity — completeness, primary-source ratio, freshness, conflicts — never how good the model is. Methodology →
