Complexity Ceiling Benchmark - Symbolic Pointer Tracking: leaderboard

The symbolic domain of the Complexity Ceiling Benchmark (Chapra et al., 2026): the model maintains seven variables holding distinct digits through 5 to 50 cyclic-shift and modular-arithmetic updates under an assignment-uniqueness constraint and must reproduce every intermediate state. Accuracy in percent over 400 seeded trials; higher is better.

Metric: Accuracy (%; share of parseable trials whose final answer and every intermediate step are exact, 40 seeded trials at each depth N = 5, 10, ..., 50; temperature 0 via OpenRouter; D2 Symbolic Pointer Tracking, 400 trials per model). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Estimated already saturated. 5 models tracked.
