Efficiency: few entries, many wins
The ratio of #1 spots to entries is the clearest difference. China's organizations hold 24 #1 spots on 668 entries (one per 28 entries). US organizations hold 2 on 233 (one per 117). Korea holds 15 on 48 (one per 3). By organization, FINAL-Bench (VIDRAFT, Korea) entered 16 leaderboards and is #1 on 15.
| Organization | #1 spots |
|---|---|
| FINAL-Bench (Korea) | 15 |
| deepseek-ai (China) | 4 |
| zai-org (China) | 4 |
| inclusionAI (China) | 3 |
| Qwen (China) | 3 |
Depth: one organization carries Korea
China's 24 #1 spots are spread across DeepSeek, Zhipu, Qwen, Moonshot, MiniMax, Xiaomi and others. Korea's 15 all come from FINAL-Bench. Korea's position on this map therefore reflects one organization's results, not a broad national base. Breadth would make the position more stable.
How to read a #1
- Board size differs. MMLU-Pro has 144 entries, GPQA 114, HLE 96, while many boards have under 20, and some new boards have only one or two entries.
