“Not in the top” means it isn't among the models in our copy of that list, which runs to the position shown; it may not have been tested. Vectara's test ranks by how rarely a model adds facts, so lower is better. Positions can be shared when scores tie. Epoch's range is its margin of uncertainty. Epoch AI and Vectara data: CC BY 4.0 and Apache-2.0.

Our note: Context '262,144 natively and extensible up to 1,010,000 tokens.' Card says it 'is a text-only model.' Release date is the Hugging Face repo creation date, not a stated launch date.
