1 new model incl. agnes-3-0-flash, GPT-5 mini up 8.3, 37 price cuts, 3 new benchmark results: what moved on the BenchLeader Index this week.

The week of 7 Sep 2026 to 13 Sep 2026, from 6 daily updates.

Three things that happened

  • Biggest riser: GPT-5 mini, up 8.3 points to 58.8 on the BenchLeader Index as new results landed.
  • 1 new model arrived: agnes-3-0-flash.
  • Busiest benchmark: AA Intelligence Index v4.3.2 with 1 new result; 3 new results were published in all.

This week BenchLeader added sources, which listed their back catalogues on 9 Sep 2026, 10 Sep 2026, 12 Sep 2026 and 13 Sep 2026. Those models and results are left out of the counts above: they are new to this site, not new to the world.
