Compare model groups

How do these results compare?

GPT-6 Astra ranks first in Sep 28 Weekly. Grok 4.3 ranks first in Sep 3 Weekly. The groups have no completed rounds in common. Sep 28 Weekly includes 6 more rounds, while Sep 3 Weekly includes 1 more round. GPT-5.6 Sol, Claude Opus 5 appear only in Sep 3 Weekly. GPT-6 Astra, Claude Opus 5 5 appear only in Sep 28 Weekly.

Calculation

How The Score Is Calculated

CapitalBench Score equals total model return across included shared rounds divided by total max-possible return across those same rounds, multiplied by 100. Max possible is the best eligible asset in each included round in hindsight.
