What this score means
On MATH-500, Sonar Pro Nano sits at #389 of 600. The leader, GPT-5.2 Max, scores 96.7, so the gap to the top is 27.7 points. The median model in this index scores 76.0, which puts Sonar Pro Nano below the midpoint.
Perplexity models average 78.7 on this benchmark. Sonar Pro Nano is 9.7 points below that provider line, so it is a weaker result than the average Perplexity model.
Among mid-range models, the average is 70.0. Sonar Pro Nano is 1.0 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 69.0 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.
