Step 5

StepFun · 604B · open weights

Strongest in Biology research (#20 of 31), weakest in Core abilities (#153 of 200). Above par in 7 of 21 scopes. Among the models it meets almost everywhere, it finishes behind Claude Opus 5.5 and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and ahead of Claude Sonnet 4 and GPT-4.1.

§ 1 · Profile

What it is good at

Bars run from 50 — the average of the models each source lists — so right of the line is above par. The middle column is the gap to whoever leads that scope.
