Page 5 of Google DeepMind’s model evaluation, read 1 October 2026. Gemini runs use the API at the highest thinking setting, generally pass@1 without majority voting or parallel test-time compute; smaller benchmarks average multiple trials. Other models use their highest available published reasoning results. Google quotes Vals AI for knowledge-work and Vibe Code results, Zapier’s private-set AutomationBench leaderboard, Proximal for FrontierSWE v2, Surge AI for RiemannBench and no-tools Chartography, and the CWE-bench v1 leaderboard. Argon’s DeepSWE uses mini-swe; Terminal-Bench 4.0 is self-computed for Argon and quoted from the author board for other models. PostTrainBench v1.1 uses OpenCode with one H100 and a 10-hour budget for all models. Terminal-Bench Science uses a 6x verifier timeout for Argon. LABBench 2 uses terminal, bioinformatics tools, Python, R and internet access for all models. GraphWalks uses BFS F1 on two separate subsets: 650 items up to 128k tokens and 200 items from 256k to 1M. Agent’s Last Exam uses ALE-Claw, a 5-hour window and binary pass rate, with safety filters enabled for Argon. OSWorld 2.0 uses offline partial reward, the best of three single-attempt runs for Argon, safety filters, 1080p, 500 steps, Gemini CUA with parallel batch tools and compaction, screenshot-only observation and the 08.08 patch; Claude’s combined online/offline results are omitted. LVBench runs without tools, using 1 FPS for Gemini, 800 frames for Astra, 300 for Fable and 600 for Opus. Missing cells remain blank.
