What this score means

On HumanEval, GPT-NeoX 7B sits at #592 of 600. The leader, GPT-5.2 Pro, scores 96.8, so the gap to the top is 53.1 points. The median model in this index scores 77.4, which puts GPT-NeoX 7B below the midpoint.

EleutherAI models average 54.0 on this benchmark. GPT-NeoX 7B is 10.3 points below that provider line, so it is a weaker result than the average EleutherAI model.

Among small open-weight models, the average is 56.7. GPT-NeoX 7B is 13.0 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 43.7 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.
