Score vs model size
Which models give the most quality for their size — the ones worth running locally.
- Phi 3 Mini 4k Instruct, 4B, score 15.0 — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
- Gemma 2 9B IT, 9B, score 19.8 — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
- Phi 4, 15B, score 42.0 — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
- Gemma 3 27B IT, 27B, score 55.4 — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
- QwQ 32B, 33B, score 77.8 — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
- DeepSeek R1, 685B, score 80.7 — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
LiveBench Math: frequently asked questions
- What is the best open LLM on LiveBench Math?
- DeepSeek R1 is the top open model on LiveBench Math, scoring 80.7. Among all models tested — including proprietary ones — it ranks #3.
- What's the best LiveBench Math model you can run on a 24 GB GPU?
- QwQ 32B is the highest-scoring open model that fits in 24 GB at 4-bit quantization (about 18 GB), scoring 77.8 on LiveBench Math.
- What's the best LiveBench Math model you can run on a 12 GB GPU?
- Phi 4 is the highest-scoring open model that fits in 12 GB at 4-bit quantization (about 8 GB), scoring 42.0 on LiveBench Math.
- Can open models match proprietary models on LiveBench Math?
- Not quite on LiveBench Math: the strongest proprietary model (gpt-5.1-2025-11-13_high) scores 94.5, ahead of the best open model (DeepSeek R1) at 80.7 — but you can run the open one yourself.
