Asteroid numbers

Our Benchmarks

Name 48 freshly sampled asteroids' catalogue numbers, from memory.

Run Sep 9, 2026, 48 items.

Method

A follow-up to the exotic recall bank, where DeepSeek and Gemini beat the Claude models on asteroids. 48 named asteroids were drawn at random from NASA/JPL's catalogue (numbers 1,000 to 20,000, first observed before 2000), and each model gave the permanent number for each name, closed book, graded by exact match. The reversal held on the fresh sample.

A reply cut off by the output limit counts as a miss; that happened at most once per model. Reasoning effort was set to high.
