What is Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index?
Artificial Analysis composite benchmark aggregating challenging evaluations across mathematics, science, coding, agentic work, long-context reasoning, instruction following, and factual reliability.
Tier S · a leaderboard, listed apart
The standard: frontier labs report it, or a trusted evaluator scores hundreds of models on it.
How much stands behind a tier: usage, who backs it, a confirmed line from its own site or paper, and a clear read on X. High with three of the four, medium with two, low otherwise.
- 510 models scored
- in curated RL directories (2 pts)
On X · well regarded, high buzz, from 13 posts about Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index in the last month
Widely cited as the default yardstick for new model launches, including by labs; some note version revisions make cross-time comparisons tricky and token costs matter.
How we got to tier S
- Adoption: 510 models scored. Tier S.
- On X: well regarded, high buzz. “Widely cited as the default yardstick for new model launches, including by labs; some note version revisions make cross-time comparisons tricky and token costs matter.” No move.
- In curated RL directories: 2 points, a floor of C.
- Not yet confirmed by a line from its own site or paper.
- Judged a leaderboard, arena or index rather than one benchmark (or not a benchmark at all): listed apart.
A clear view on X moves a tier one step up or down; most entries don't move. How tiers work.
Not on the map yet: no line from its own site or paper places it in a domain.
