Methodology and limitations in this release
The scale is anchored to mean 100, SD 15 across 18 frozen reference models. It is not human IQ or a percentage. 81 benchmarks contribute across 7 domains.
This older release did not preserve a written methodology in its public snapshot. Its recorded scores and scale are archived here; current methodology documentation must not be assumed to describe this historical calculation.
Reading this release
Compare model scores alongside their stability ranges and domain coverage. A higher point estimate does not establish superiority for every task. The linked model records disclose contributing and excluded results and their published configurations.
This release uses methodology version tli-2026-v4.1. Comparisons with another release should check both its methodology version and evidence date; a new data release does not necessarily mean the scoring method changed.
