Best AI models for deep agentic chains

Ranked by Effective Value at task depth N=40 โ€” long agentic chains where one error compounds. As depth grows the ranking shifts decisively toward accuracy: fast-but-flawed models collapse while accurate models pull ahead. This is the leaderboard for autonomous, multi-step work. Shown indexed to the top model at N=40 = 100.

Ranking 82 models across the meo-tested roster ยท as of 2026-10-18.
