What is…
Benchmark
A standardized test used to compare models — coding, math, reasoning, knowledge.
Benchmarks are shared exams: sets of questions or tasks with known answers. Labs publish scores to claim progress. Useful for rough comparisons — but models can be tuned to specific tests, and a benchmark rarely looks like your work.
The best benchmark is your own: take five real tasks you do weekly and try them in two or three assistants.
🧠 Test yourself
