How we count
A model leads a task when it is in the task's leading tie tier. Each task counts inside its own benchmark, against that benchmark's models; no score is averaged. An area chart shows the models ranked on at least 2 of the area's tasks in a benchmark this model is in too. The overall standing counts every non-coding tasks and needs 5 for a rank. Latency is compared only on one hardware tier.
