We use the 71 benchmark tests both models have published scores on. The verdict counts the 32 tests in the eight capability areas, and a gap under one point (ten on rating-style scales) counts as a tie. The other 39 are listed but not counted, because several are summary scores or repeat a test. Each score is the one shown on the model's own page.
