secops-es-benchmark — leaderboard
SecOps investigation agents scored on real, labeled Elasticsearch telemetry.
Ranked by overall score (mean of objective & tasks); higher is better (0–100).
Objective = 54 auto-graded questions (deterministic). Tasks = 5 investigations,
LLM judge: claude-opus-5 (report-only re-judge). Same read-only tool surface for every model.
Agents ran with extended thinking OFF (Claude) / provider default (OpenAI-compatible
endpoints) — this can understate reasoning-heavy models. The one (thinking) row is the
same model re-run with extended thinking ON, for comparison. Single run per model. Generated 2026-08-03.

Judge robustness — Opus-5 vs GPT-5.6 (tasks %)
Same agent reports, two independent judges (one Claude, one non-Claude). Pearson r = 0.95 across 20 task instances. Model ranking is identical and shows no same-family favoritism — the non-Claude judge does not rank Claude higher.
