Position follows the rows held in this index and is not a controlled comparison. Sources may use different graders or task subsets. Positions include separate configurations. A source board may contain additional rows; its size is listed separately when it differs. Config caveats, where a source noted any, are on each benchmark's page, and the document behind each score is cited on the sources page. Sources also list this model as "DeepSeek-R1".
