- GPQA Diamond now reflects OpenAI’s published launch result of 66.3%.
- SWE-bench Verified now reflects OpenAI’s published launch result of 54.6%, rather than a separate leaderboard evaluation.
- Aider Polyglot now reflects OpenAI’s published launch result of 52.9%.
- Added OpenAI’s published AIME 2024 and MMMU launch results.
- Flaws and limitations updated
Teams building on GPT-4.1 should confirm limits, pricing and benchmark coverage against the vendor's own documentation before relying on these figures.
