Fig 2 · Rows sorted by score within each metric. Shaded row marks SOTA. Dates reflect model or paper release where available, otherwise the date Codesota accessed the source.
§ 03 · Progress

5 steps
of state of the art.

Each row below marks a model that broke the previous record on accuracy. Intermediate submissions are kept in the leaderboard above; only SOTA-setting entries are re-listed here.

Higher scores win. Each subsequent entry improved upon the previous best.
