GAOKAO

Metric: Accuracy (higher is better)Introduced: 2023

Evaluation benchmark using questions from China's college entrance examination (Gaokao) across math, language arts, science, and social studies. High benchmark score alone doesn't make a model the right pick — weigh it against pricing, API availability, and release date.

How to read this benchmark

This benchmark scores models where higher is better. Scores are useful for directional filtering and shortlisting — not for universal quality ranking. Prefer benchmarks closest to your workload, then validate the linked model pages for pricing, context window, and provider availability.

Trust this score when

  • There is a fresh timestamped snapshot (or multiple snapshots) for this benchmark.
  • The model list covers the same version family you can actually deploy today.
  • Top candidates overlap with your required routing and feature requirements.

Be cautious when

  • There is only one benchmark snapshot or the dataset appears stale.
  • The benchmark metric direction is opposite of your decision objective.
  • The score difference between options is narrow and likely within implementation variance.

FAQ

What does the GAOKAO benchmark measure?

Evaluation benchmark using questions from China's college entrance examination (Gaokao) across math, language arts, science, and social studies. On this page it lists 11 tracked model variants where higher is better.

Is a higher GAOKAO score always better?

For this benchmark, higher is better. A high score helps you shortlist, but confirm pricing, context window, and provider availability on each model page before committing — the top scorer is not always the right pick for your workload or budget.

How current is this GAOKAO data?

This benchmark was last reviewed on May 1, 2026. Re-check the linked model pages for the freshest provider and pricing detail.
