Frontier model leaderboard

Frontier-class models ranked by their strongest tracked benchmark, alongside context window, API price, and how each one can be accessed.

This is a reading aid, not a single-number ranking. Frontier labs report different benchmarks, so the table shows the two evals that appear most consistently across flagships — GPQA Diamond (graduate-level science reasoning) and SWE-bench Verified (resolving real GitHub issues) — and orders models by their strongest of the two.

A model near the top is not automatically “the best” for your use case: price, context window, access model, and whether a number is verified all matter. Use this to narrow the field, then open a model page for its full record.

Benchmark values are included only where the catalog has a sourced claim. Vendor figures remain self-reported until independently verified.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a frontier model here?

A frontier model is one a lab positions at or near the capability ceiling of the field at release — typically its flagship. LLM Releases tags this with an explicit frontier flag rather than inferring it from benchmark scores, so a model can be frontier-class even when its numbers are not yet independently verified.

Why are some benchmark cells empty?

A cell is blank when the catalog has no sourced claim for that model on that benchmark. We do not copy numbers across benchmarks or fill gaps with estimates, so a missing value means 'not reported with a source', not 'scored zero'.

Are these scores verified?

Most published figures are self-reported by the vendor under conditions they choose. We record them as claims and label them self-reported until an independent evaluation confirms the result. Treat the ranking as a starting point, then follow the source link.
