Moving baseline tracker
The floor is the AI you cannot uninvent.
The ceiling is the best proprietary frontier. The floor is the strongest open model left standing if the ceiling disappeared.

Model selection is editorial. Points use Artificial Analysis as of the 10 Jul 2026 recheck: Coding uses the AA Coding Agent Index, Agentic uses the AA Agentic Index, and General uses the AA Intelligence Index. Each side score is the highest comparable AA score among its listed models. GPT-5.6 is now generally available and independently measured: Sol sets the coding ceiling at 80 and agentic ceiling at 54, while Claude Fable 5 keeps the general ceiling at 59.9. Terra, Luna, and Grok 4.5 are measured ceiling context; Muse Spark 1.1 and Sakana Fugu Ultra remain vendor-reported candidates. GLM-5.2 remains the measured open floor across all three domains. LongCat-2.0 and official Tencent Hy3 stay open-floor candidates until AA measures those exact releases. The archive table shows the coding gap.
