AutomationBench caveats:

Leaderboard versions (for example 1.0.5 and 1.0.6) are not comparable. Some results use fallback routing for refused steps: for "Claude Fable 5.1 (with Opus 5 Fallback)", Opus 5 handled 260 of 657 tasks. Artificial Analysis runs a separate leaderboard, AutomationBench-AA, which uses a guardrail-adjusted metric; its scores are not comparable with Zapier's. The partial_credit metric is for diagnostics only. The leaderboard shows no per-row evaluation dates.

CharXiv Reasoning caveats:

There is no maintained public leaderboard (the project site says it is under construction), so almost all current numbers are self-reported by providers. Results with tools such as a code interpreter are much higher than without: Alibaba reports 83.7% without and 90.2% with tools for Qwen3.8-27B. Top models now exceed the human baseline, so differences at the top are small and may reflect label noise. Descriptive-question scores are a different metric and must not be recorded here.

DeepSWE v1.1 caveats:

The official leaderboard uses mini-swe-agent for all models and shows whole-number percentages with margins of about ±1 to ±6 points. Providers often report scores from their own scaffolds or effort settings; DeepSeek reports 65.5% to 74.2% for the same model depending on the scaffold. DeepSWE v1 scores are not comparable with v1.1. With only 113 tasks, small differences are within noise.

FrontierMath Tiers 1-3 (v2) caveats:

FrontierMath was developed with funding from OpenAI, which has exclusive access to a subset of the problems. Scores from v1 and from Tier 4 (a separate 43-problem expansion set) are not comparable with Tiers 1-3 (v2). The best models score about 94%, so the benchmark separates mid-size models better than it separates frontier models. Epoch's numbers come from its own harness (Python tool, 1M-token limit), which can differ from providers' internal setups. Margins are about ±1.4 to ±2.6 points.

GDPval-AA v2.1 caveats:

Elo is a relative rating: values change as models are added and the scale is re-anchored, so always store the date a rating was read. For example, Anthropic's launch page gives 1846 for Claude Opus 5.5, while the leaderboard on 2026-10-12 shows 1866 (Max, Default Fallback). Earlier versions (Google cites "GDPVal-AA v2") are not comparable. Judging is done by an LLM, not by human experts. Anthropic models are listed with "Default Fallback", meaning refused steps are routed to a fallback model. AA-Briefcase and GDP.pdf are separate evaluations.

Humanity's Last Exam caveats:

Results differ a lot by setting: with tools versus without tools (Anthropic reports 45.9% without tools and 57.4% with tools for Claude Haiku 5.5), and the full set versus the text-only subset. Providers use different judge models and harnesses (Scale uses o3-mini; Alibaba states GPT-4o). Derived sets such as HLE-Verified (a third-party revision with 1,811 scored items), HLE-Rolling and HLE-Diamond are different item sets and are not comparable. The questions are public, so contamination is possible, and community reviews have reported flawed items.

Text Arena caveats:

Scores measure voter preference, which can be influenced by answer style and length. The leaderboard offers a style-control adjustment, so record which view was used. Scores shift with every update, so a value is only meaningful together with its leaderboard date. Entries marked "Preliminary" or with few votes have wide confidence intervals. The same model can appear several times with different reasoning-effort suffixes (for example -high or -max). Category views (Coding, Math, Creative Writing and others) are different rankings from Overall.

One row per result, without rank numbers: each result was measured under its own setting (effort level, harness, tools, test version), as stated by the source, and scores compare only within the same setting. Self-reported results come from the provider and have not been reproduced independently.

About Gemini 3.1 Pro

Gemini 3.1 Pro (gemini-3.1-pro-preview) was released as a preview on 19 February 2026 and is the only Gemini 3 series Pro text model currently listed in the Gemini API. It is based on Gemini 3 Pro and targets software engineering, agentic workflows and precise tool use. It accepts text, image, video, audio and PDF input and returns text, with thinking on by default at the high level. The Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra plans list access to 3.1 Pro in the Gemini app.

Strengths and weaknesses

Strengths

  • 1,048,576-token input context and 65,536-token output limit
  • Accepts text, image, video, audio and PDF input
  • Supports function calling, code execution, Google Search and Google Maps grounding, URL context and structured outputs
  • Separate gemini-3.1-pro-preview-customtools endpoint for workflows that mix bash and custom tools

Weaknesses

  • Preview model: might come with more restrictive rate limits and can be deprecated with at least 2 weeks' notice
  • Higher per-token prices than the Gemini Flash and Flash-Lite models ($2.00 input / $12.00 output per 1M tokens), rising to $4.00 / $18.00 for prompts over 200K tokens
  • Not available on the free API tier; file search supported in AI Studio only
