Artificial Analysis Capability Indices v1.1

AI Threadreaderapp.com
Artificial Analysis updated its Capability Indices to v1.1, featuring deeper domain tuning and confirming Claude Fable 5.1's dominance across key industries.
What: The update incorporates new benchmarks like AutomationBench-AA (Agentic Tool Use) and AA-Briefcase (Agentic Knowledge Work) across six professional domains, with Claude Fable 5.1 leading in all categories.
Why it matters: The inclusion of more private, held-out datasets indicates a concerted effort to curb the 'gaming' of public benchmarks by model labs.
Deep dive
  • The updated indices cover Finance, Strategy, Legal, Healthcare, Engineering, and Economics.
  • Claude Fable 5.1 is the top-performing model across all six capability indices.
  • Open-weight models like Kimi K3, DeepSeek V4.1, and GLM-5.3 are showing strong, specific competitive performance.
  • AA-Briefcase is a new, in-house benchmark designed to test multi-week, complex knowledge work projects.
  • 40% of the Intelligence Index weighting is now composed of private, held-out test sets to prevent model overfitting.
Decoder
  • Elo rating: A system originally designed for chess, here used to measure the relative skill levels of AI models in head-to-head performance benchmarks.
  • Held-out test set: Data that the model was not trained on and is kept secret from the developers, used to ensure the evaluation is accurate and not merely reflecting memorization of the questions.
