What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Low-friction candidate

Why
It is the de-facto, open, well-maintained standard with 39 ranked models; low cost to consult, and the maintainers themselves flag exactly how far to trust it.
Next
Use it as the first filter when shortlisting universal potentials, but pair it with task-specific benchmarks (kSRME, elastic, MOFSimBench) before committing to any model.
