Abstract Reasoning

A bird's-eye view of the dimension: the main IQ chart, the effective-cost frontier, and the benchmark charts that feed it.

Abstract Reasoning IQ Bell Curve
Abstract Reasoning IQ Bell Curve
Each model's estimated Abstract Reasoning IQ, placed on a standard normal IQ distribution.

How to read this chart

Models are placed on a standard IQ-style distribution using Abstract Reasoning IQ. Higher scores appear farther to the right.
