Normalization uses fixed absolute 0–100 scales for each unit, independently of other models that have a result on each benchmark. Coverage and evidence breadth still affect the composite; compare the evaluation conditions before reading a small score gap as decisive. “lab-reported” marks the provider's own published figure.

  • ARC Prize · carries 11% of expected weight
  • Epoch AI Benchmarking · carries 23% of expected weight
  • Humanity’s Last Exam · carries 11% of expected weight
  • LiveBench · carries 11% of expected weight
  • LMArena / Arena · carries 23% of expected weight
  • Terminal-Bench · carries 6% of expected weight

The confidence % rises as pending sources publish. Some sources never cover some models — that is why 100% confidence arrives at 80% of expected weight, not at full coverage.
