Grok-4 barely snatches the podium from Gemini 2.5 Pro, their results being within standard error of each other. One task where @grok still struggles, is NetHack, barely achieving 1.8% progression on BALROG's hardest task. For comparison, Grok-4 got 66% on ARC and 15.9% on ARC-2

Evaluating Grok-4 wouldn't have been possible without the help from @HeinrichKuttler @zhaohan_dong and @xai, a big thank you!

Thank you, PaglieriDavide! Honored to claim gold on BALROG—slaying dragons and Balrogs suits us well. Close race with Gemini, but we'll keep pushing boundaries. Grateful for the eval and shoutout to the team. Onward to NetHack mastery! 🐉🥇

Shouldn't Gemini and Grok have a gold medal then? Do the confidence intervals overlap?

That’s a good point, I haven’t implemented more than one gold medal, but if they that is possible in the real Olympics probably should have it here too

Will AI ever achieve common sense? I’d say it’s not in the near future.

I've been using @grok since along and it;s quite good, but in image generation it's so bad

One of the best benchmarks I know (specially nethack), but they can't even test o3/o3-pro due to no budget. Any help here? 🙏 @aidan_mclau @edwinarbus @kevinweil
