Methodology

The AI Top 40 uses the Implicator Algorithm: a tier-weighted composite across 10 leading benchmarks. Each model’s raw score is converted to a Z-score, then combined using weights that reflect benchmark rigor. Contamination-resistant benchmarks with independent governance (SWE-bench, LiveCodeBench, GPQA Diamond, ARC-AGI, HLE) are weighted 4× higher than benchmarks with documented integrity issues. The final score is rescaled to 0–100.

Models must appear on at least 5 of 10 benchmarks to qualify. Newly released models often take one to two weeks to appear across enough benchmarks—for example, Meta Superintelligence Labs’ Muse Spark (released April 8, 2026) is not yet listed on any of the 10 tracked leaderboards. It will enter the chart automatically once benchmark providers publish scores. Tier assignments validated independently by Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. Not investment advice.
