What is HLE?
An expert-authored benchmark designed to probe frontier knowledge and reasoning.
Tier S
S
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.
- 478 models scored
- listed with Scale AI
- in curated RL directories (4 pts)
On X · well regarded, moderate buzz, from 9 posts about HLE in the last month
The new refined HLE-Diamond version was added to Artificial Analysis's index with top models near 69%; some note score gaps are within noise.
How we got to tier S
- Adoption: 478 models scored; listed with Scale AI. Tier S.
- On X: well regarded, moderate buzz. “The new refined HLE-Diamond version was added to Artificial Analysis's index with top models near 69%; some note score gaps are within noise.” No move.
- In curated RL directories: 4 points, a floor of B.
- Confirmed: a line from its own site or paper places it.
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.
