Introducing the 2025 SEAL Models of the Year Awards

Scale AI introduces the inaugural 2025 SEAL Models of the Year Awards to recognize the top-performing AI models. The awards are based entirely on performance data from the SEAL Leaderboards and SEAL Showdown, which evaluate models on real-world tasks. Categories for the awards include Best Composite Performance, Best Reasoning, Best Safety, Best Multimodal, and Best Agentic Model. Winners are determined by aggregating scores from various benchmarks designed to test specific capabilities like multi-step problem solving, safety alignment, and understanding visual information.
