What this score means

On MATH-500, Sonar Pro Pro sits at #169 of 600. The leader, GPT-5.2 Max, scores 96.7, so the gap to the top is 14.8 points. The median model in this index scores 76.0, which puts Sonar Pro Pro above the midpoint.

Perplexity models average 78.7 on this benchmark. Sonar Pro Pro is 3.2 points above that provider line, so it is a stronger result than the average Perplexity model.

Among multimodal models, the average is 81.3. Sonar Pro Pro is 0.6 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 81.9 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.
