What this score means

On HumanEval, GPT-4.1 Nano sits at #379 of 600. The leader, GPT-5.2 Pro, scores 96.8, so the gap to the top is 24.8 points. The median model in this index scores 77.4, which puts GPT-4.1 Nano below the midpoint.

OpenAI models average 87.6 on this benchmark. GPT-4.1 Nano is 15.6 points below that provider line, so it is a weaker result than the average OpenAI model.

Among mid-range models, the average is 71.5. GPT-4.1 Nano is 0.5 points above that group. This is the more useful comparison if you are shortlisting within the same tier rather than across the whole index.

Read a 72.0 as a relative signal, not an absolute guarantee. Benchmark scores depend on prompt format, evaluation harness and contamination controls. Use this page to narrow the shortlist, then test the model on your own data.
