Moonshot's Kimi K3 Ranks Top Three Across Major AI Benchmarks
“This is from Nathan Lambert's Substack Interconnects. It comes number two on the VALS AI Index. Number three overall on artificial analysis is Intelligence Index number one in the front end cone arena, and it has many more impressive results.”

Artificial Analysis uses mystery shopper accounts to prevent endpoint manipulation
“We have what we call a mystery shopper policy, and so, and we're totally transparent with all the labs we work with about this, that we will register accounts not on our own domain and run both intelligence evals and performance benchmarks without them being u…”

LATENT SPACE Disclosure
Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index synthesizes 10 evaluation datasets
“The artificial analysis intelligence index, which is our synthesis metric that we pulled together currently from 10 different eval data sets to give what? We're pretty confident is the best single number to look at for how smart the models are.”

LATENT SPACE Assertion Not checkable as stated
Hill-Smith: Early Benchmarks Like HumanEval Are Saturated and Trivial
“Well, V one would be completely saturated right now by almost every model coming out because doing things like writing the Python functions and human evil is now pretty trivial.”

Hill-Smith: OpenAI Was Untouchable for Well Over a Year
“If we go back even a little bit before then, we're in the era where, when you look at this chart, like, OpenAI was untouchable for well over a year.”

LATENT SPACE Assertion Supported
Anthropic Claude models have lowest hallucination rates on Omniscience benchmark
“Like, one of the things that we saw in the hallucination rate is that Anthropoc's Claude models at the very left-hand side here with the lowest hallucination rates out of the models that we've evaluated Amnesians on.”

LATENT SPACE Assertion Supported
Cameron: General model intelligence does not correlate with hallucination rates
“One interesting aspect is that we've found that there's not really a, not a strong correlation between intelligence and hallucination rate. That's to say that the smarter the models are in a generalist sense isn't correlated with their ability to, when they do…”

LATENT SPACE Assertion Not publicly verifiable
Hill-Smith: Omniscience Factual Accuracy Tracks Model Parameter Count Most Closely
“If you go back up to accuracy on Omniscience, an interesting thing about this accuracy metric is that it tracks more closely than anything else that we measure, the total parameter count of models.”
Micah Hill-Smith Jan 9, 2026 ▶ 36:24 Artificial Analysis: The Independent LLM Analysis House — with George Cameron and Micah Hill-Smith
Hill-Smith estimates Gemini 3 Pro parameter count hits 5 to 10 trillion
“You might reasonably form a view that there's a pretty good chance that Gemini three pro is bigger than that, that it could be in the five to 10 trillion parameter range. To be clear, I have absolutely no idea, but just based on this chart, like that's where y…”

Gemini 3 Pro performs poorly on GDPval-AA benchmark evaluator tasks
“One data point there is that even as the, as an evaluator, Gemini three pro interestingly doesn't do actually that well in GDP val AA.”

Models perform better in custom agent harnesses than native web chatbots
“And what's really interesting is that if you compare, for instance, Claude, 4.5 Opus using the Claude web chatbot, it performs worse than the model in our Agentic harness. And so in every case, the model performs better in our agentic harness than its web chat…”

Hill-Smith: Multi-tool MCP agent workflows barely work right now
“I would say that this stuff like barely works in fairness right now.”

Artificial Analysis open-sources minimalist agent harness Stirrup on GitHub
“We released that on, on GitHub yesterday. It's called Stirrup, so if people want to check it out, and it's a great you know, base for, you know, generalist building a generalist agent.”

AI2's OLMo 3 32B leads Artificial Analysis's 18-point Openness Index
“It's out of 18 currently. And so we've got an openness index page, but essentially these are points. You get points for being more open across these different categories and the maximum you can achieve is 18. So AI two with their extremely open OMO three, 32 B…”

GPT-4-level intelligence is now over 100 times cheaper than at launch
“The, like, one fact on that is that you can get intelligence at the level of GPT-IV for over a hundred times cheaper than GPT-IV was at launch right now.”

LATENT SPACE Assertion Supported
Cameron: Model performance correlates with total parameters, not active parameters
“We, in our benchmark, see a lot of performance correlated more with total parameters than active, and not that correlated with how sparse like the models are. Our accuracy benchmark is part of a omniscience. It's very correlated with total. It's not correlated…”

Reasoning models consume 10x more tokens on average than non-reasoning models

Arena's organic user prompts provide realism that Artificial Analysis lacks
“They have arenas, but the arenas are not based on organic usage. Like the thing that distinguishes our platform versus theirs is that the users are actually inputting their own use case. They're actually asking their own question. And that gives a level of rea…”

Inception generalist model matches Claude Haiku quality at 5-10x speed
