Evidence

ZenBrain by the numbers

We do not top numbers. Every figure here comes with its method, its source and a way to verify it yourself.

Last updated: 12 July 2026

A benchmark number is only worth the method behind it. Some vendors report higher figures — up to “95.4 %” — on the basis of their own, undisclosed procedures. We take the opposite route: fewer superlatives, and for every number the method, the citable source and a repro or live link.

12 of 12 direct comparisons won — each confirmed by three independent LLM judges.

How these numbers are produced

All empirical results come from the open-access preprint (arXiv 2604.23878); the core benchmark is LongMemEval-500, scored by three independent LLM judges. Full methodology, assumptions and limitations are on the methodology and publications pages.
