Artificial Analysis V5 index shifts to harder benchmarks; reconstructed difficulty scale puts GPT-4 near zero

scaling01 · x · 2026-10-29

Artificial Analysis is now using substantially harder benchmarks in its Intelligence Index V5. A community-reconstructed chart maps each benchmark onto AA's Progress Index difficulty scale: MLCR, GDP.pdf (v5), FrontierCode 2.0 (v5), CritPt v1, and HLE-Diamond top the hardest tier, while AIME 2025, LiveCodeBench, MMMU-Pro, and GPQA Diamond are now among the easiest — and GPT-4 (2024.11) scores near zero. The same author previously noted OpenAI's clear RL edge, with models struggling sharply once reasoning is removed.
