Why trust these results

Real tests

Every model gets the same tasks, one per request, scored against an answer key we wrote first.

8 models per test

Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok models on every test (12 different models so far), run 2-3 times each so you can see how much scores move.

Fresh held-back sets

Final scores include test items written after the prompt was frozen, so the prompt wasn't tuned on them.

Scam safety checks

Fake invoices, gift-card scams and phishing are built into the tests, and we name every model that fell for one.

Published methods

How we tested, the scores and the mistakes are public, including the ones that look bad.
