FrontierMath: frequently asked questions
- What is the best open LLM on FrontierMath?
- Kimi K2.6 is the top open model on FrontierMath, scoring 39.0%. Among all models tested — including proprietary ones — it ranks #14. The top model overall is GPT 5.5 Pro Pre Release (high) (OpenAI) at 52.4%.
- Can open models match proprietary models on FrontierMath?
- Not quite on FrontierMath: the strongest proprietary model (GPT 5.5 Pro Pre Release (high)) scores 52.4%, ahead of the best open model (Kimi K2.6) at 39.0% — but you can run the open one yourself.
