Scientific reasoning

GPQA Diamond · 25%

Expert-written science questions; strict multiple-choice scoring. Chance accuracy is 25%.

Gemma 3 4B IT 23.2*% Approx. 95% interval: 19.6–26.9%

Novel problem solving

Factual answers

SimpleQA Verified · 25%

Correct factual answers under a guessing prompt, graded by a model. Not a hallucination or abstention score.

Competition mathematics

OTIS Mock AIME 2024-2025 · Separate result

Competition problems with model-extracted answers checked against an exact key. Earlier grading procedures are excluded.

Gemma 3 4B IT 7.5*% Approx. 95% interval: 2.1–12.9%

Bars show reported task scores. Whiskers are approximate 95% intervals where standard errors are available. Different reasoning budgets are not equal-cost tests. Missing results are never zero.

Recorded results

Only the same benchmark, version, workload, scenario and unit share a row. Missing results are not zero. System results include the full submitted hardware and software configuration.
