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.
