Seven New Models Benchmarked on Computer Tasks
Teknium · x · 2026-07-12
Seven of the latest AI models were tested on the same set of real-world computer tasks, placed inside Hermes to directly observe how they operate a computer.
In the conclusions, GPT-5.6 Sol is rated the best overall, with Grok 4.5 close behind due to its speed and strong execution capabilities, while Muse Spark 1.1 is noted as this week's surprise standout.
The author emphasizes that benchmarks only tell you what a model "might be able to do", but letting a model actually control a computer gets closer to revealing what it "truly can do."
