Capability & preference

General capability · ECI

A cross-benchmark capability estimate. Index points, not a percentage; intervals show uncertainty.

GPT-4.1 mini 134.9* GPT-4.1 mini · 95% interval 131.1–136.4

Human preference · Arena

Overall text preferences from head-to-head votes. Not factual accuracy or a task-success rate.

GPT-4.1 mini 1340.5 gpt-4.1-mini-2025-04-14 · 95% interval 1336.2–1344.8 · 38,709 votes · 2026-10-15

Model performance

Radar task score: four tests, equal weight. An experimental summary of these tasks, not a universal intelligence rating.

GPT-4.1 mini

Radar task score

Unrated

Older results · no current score

4 benchmark results for this configuration

Scientific reasoning

GPQA Diamond · 25%

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

GPT-4.1 mini 65.8*% Approx. 95% interval: 60.5–71.1% · Older result

Novel problem solving

Mystery Game Puzzles · 25%

Best-next-move puzzles in an undisclosed game variant. A narrow reasoning test, not general intelligence.

GPT-4.1 mini 7.0*% Approx. 95% interval: 2.0–12.0%

Advanced mathematics

FrontierMath Tiers 1-3 · 25%

Private v2 mathematics problems with Python tools. Earlier versions and Tier 4 are excluded.

GPT-4.1 mini 6.7*% Approx. 95% interval: 3.8–9.6%

Factual answers

SimpleQA Verified · 25%

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

GPT-4.1 mini 12.7*% Approx. 95% interval: 10.6–14.8%

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.
