Benchmark Caveat
Benchmarks and provider capability notes are directional, not universal rankings. Results can shift with prompts, tool use, latency targets, pricing tier, safety filters, context length, and the workload mix a real team runs.
See the linked official model, docs, model-card, or pricing source for provider-published capability notes.
