Overview

Identity

Canonical model
Yesidentity confidence: mediumOne row per real model release. Artifacts (checkpoints, quantisations, conversions) and folded evaluation variants point here.
Official checkpoints
None recorded — closed weightsofficial_checkpoints = hf_repo identifiers carried by the model itself; artifacts are separate entities pointing here through canonical_id.

Folded evaluation variants
2Effort / thinking variants (…-high, …-non-reasoning) are result configurations of this model, not separate models. Their old URLs redirect here.

Current rows only, grouped by benchmark → canonical metric → comparability group (task configuration). Effort variants folded into this model appear as rows of the same group. 43 current rows in total. “vs leader” compares with the current leader of the benchmark's primary group only; other groups are not directly comparable.
