HealthBench Professional

Often citedHigher is better

OpenAI's test for medical professionals: responses to 525 tasks close to clinical work are graded against rubrics. Values here are standardized on the length-adjusted score. Scores run from 0 to 100%. Higher is better.

This ranking is built only from scores the model makers published themselves. Test settings such as tool use and reasoning effort differ by maker, so check each score's setting before comparing models directly.

The "harness" is the agent program the AI used to carry out the task. The same model can score very differently depending on its harness and reasoning effort.

Vendor-reported numbers use varying setups — treat them as indicative.
