ProofBench Leaderboard
ProofBench evaluates a model's ability to write and check rigorous mathematical proofs, rather than just produce a final numeric answer. It probes step-by-step logical correctness, which is a harder and more distinct skill than solving for a number.

Score vs model size
Which models give the most quality for their size — the ones worth running locally.
- Qwen3.8 27B, 28B, score 16.0% — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
- DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731, 304B, score 56.0% — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
- Kimi K3, 2.8T, score 87.0% — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
ProofBench: frequently asked questions
- What is the best open LLM on ProofBench?
- Kimi K3 is the top open model on ProofBench, scoring 87.0%. Among all models tested — including proprietary ones — it ranks #5. The top model overall is Claude Fable 5.1 Max (Anthropic) at 100.0%.
- What's the best ProofBench model you can run on a 24 GB GPU?
- Qwen3.8 27B is the highest-scoring open model that fits in 24 GB at 4-bit quantization (about 15 GB), scoring 16.0% on ProofBench.
- Can open models match proprietary models on ProofBench?
- Not quite on ProofBench: the strongest proprietary model (Claude Fable 5.1 Max) scores 100.0%, ahead of the best open model (Kimi K3) at 87.0% — but you can run the open one yourself.
