I agree it’s not very clear. The focus focus of my question would like to be on reasoning benchmarks—specifically in areas like mathematics, coding, and logical reasoning—while disregarding aspects like agency. When it comes to the "next frontier" models, I’d only consider entries like Orion, Claude 3.5 Opus (or Claude 4 Opus, depending on its eventual naming), Llama 4 (big), and Gemini 2 . A good way to identify it would be by the price per million tokens, for example the new Sonnet is much less expensive than o1 and also of Opus, so it doesn't count as next-frontier model. Of course, the increasingly confusing naming conventions these companies adopt make it harder to define and categorize these "frontier models" clearly. I am editing the answer to make it clearer. Thanks a lot for the feedback!
