No ranking changed hands in the 13 November 2026 refresh of the thinQit Index — so here is the story the standings are telling underneath.
Mover of the week
The rankings did not change today, but the Index did. Inkling (Thinking Machines) is up +3.5 points over the past 7 days, from 54.7 to 58.2, and now sits at #40. At the other end, Mistral Large 4 is −5.3 over the same window, from 57.0 to 51.7 at #47.
| # | Model | Lab | Then (6 Nov) | Today | Δ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 40 | Inkling | Thinking Machines | 54.7 | 58.2 | +3.5 |
| 16 | Muse Spark 1.3 | Meta | 71.8 | 72.9 | +1.1 |
| 19 | GLM-5.3 | Z.ai | 70.7 | 70.9 | +0.2 |
| 36 | MiMo-V2.6-Flash | Xiaomi | 61.0 | 61.2 | +0.2 |
| 18 | GPT-5.6 Sol | OpenAI | 71.3 | 71.4 | +0.1 |

Why it matters
Inkling moved on fresh results: LMArena WebDev 1646.23, Humanity's Last Exam 44.1%, GPQA Diamond 93%, LiveBench Agentic 9.8%. Mistral Large 4 re-read on LiveBench Coding 79.4%, LiveBench Reasoning 85.2%, LiveBench Agentic 24.7%, LMArena WebDev 1564.45. A single benchmark rarely moves the Index by more than a point on its own — the weighting spreads it across seven capabilities.

How we measure
The thinQit Index v1.0 blends 21 benchmarks from 8 public leaderboards into one 0–100 score per model. Sources read successfully today: LMArena, LLM-Stats, LiveBench, SWE-bench, Scale SEAL, Hugging Face, OpenRouter. Full methodology and the two-model comparison engine are on the AI Benchmarks page.
Frequently asked questions
How often is the thinQit Index updated?
Every day. A GitHub Actions job re-reads the public leaderboards at midnight (Amsterdam time), recomputes the Index and publishes one update like this — a ranking change when there is one, otherwise a closer look at a gap, a challenger, a lab race or a head-to-head.
Why does a model show a provisional score?
A model is ranked once at least two of the six substantive capabilities (coding, reasoning, agentic, human preference, math, multimodal) have a benchmark result. Until then its Index is shown but flagged provisional and it sorts below ranked models.
