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.

Each dot is a model. Up = higher score, left = smaller (easier to run locally). The dashed line marks the efficiency frontier — the best score you can get at each size or smaller.
  • 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?
