What this score means

On LiveCodeBench, GPT-4.1 Pro sits at #73 of 600. The leader, Claude Sonnet 4.5 Reasoning, scores 85.1, so the gap to the top is 8.4 points. The median model in this index scores 64.7, which puts GPT-4.1 Pro above the midpoint.

OpenAI models average 77.2 on this benchmark. GPT-4.1 Pro is 0.5 points below that provider line, so it is a weaker result than the average OpenAI model.

Among frontier models, the average is 80.6. GPT-4.1 Pro is 3.9 points below that group. This is the more useful comparison if you are shortlisting within the same tier rather than across the whole index.

Read a 76.7 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.
