WeirdML Leaderboard
WeirdML asks models to write machine-learning code for small, deliberately unusual datasets, then runs the code and scores the accuracy it actually achieves. Built by Håvard Tveit Ihle, it rewards practical problem-solving over recognizing a familiar task.

Score vs model size
Which models give the most quality for their size — the ones worth running locally.
- Llama 3.1 8B Instruct, 8B, score 1.7% — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
- GPT OSS 20B, 21B, score 40.9% — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
- Gemma 4 31B IT, 31B, score 52.3% — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
- DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731, 304B, score 63.0% — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
- GLM 5.3, 753B, score 75.4% — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
- Kimi K3, 2.8T, score 82.6% — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
WeirdML: frequently asked questions
- What is the best open LLM on WeirdML?
- Kimi K3 is the top open model on WeirdML, scoring 82.6%. Among all models tested — including proprietary ones — it ranks #17. The top model overall is GPT 6 Astra Promax (OpenAI) at 93.6%.
- What's the best WeirdML model you can run on a 24 GB GPU?
- Gemma 4 31B IT is the highest-scoring open model that fits in 24 GB at 4-bit quantization (about 17 GB), scoring 52.3% on WeirdML.
- What's the best WeirdML model you can run on a 12 GB GPU?
- GPT OSS 20B is the highest-scoring open model that fits in 12 GB at 4-bit quantization (about 12 GB), scoring 40.9% on WeirdML.
- Can open models match proprietary models on WeirdML?
- Not quite on WeirdML: the strongest proprietary model (GPT 6 Astra Promax) scores 93.6%, ahead of the best open model (Kimi K3) at 82.6% — but you can run the open one yourself.
