What this score means

On HumanEval, GPT-5.1 Mini sits at #219 of 600. The leader, GPT-5.2 Pro, scores 96.8, so the gap to the top is 16.3 points. The median model in this index scores 77.4, which puts GPT-5.1 Mini above the midpoint.

OpenAI models average 87.6 on this benchmark. GPT-5.1 Mini is 7.1 points below that provider line, so it is a weaker result than the average OpenAI model.

Among multimodal models, the average is 82.2. GPT-5.1 Mini is 1.7 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 80.5 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.
