Korean model Darwin debuts on SuperCLUE benchmark, ranks second in reasoning

The SuperCLUE benchmark, released in November 2026, highlighted the Darwin-180B-RSI-R3 model from Korea, placing it on the leaderboard for the first time. This model achieved second place in math and science reasoning among 19 entrants, outperforming models like Gemini-4-Argon and DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash. Notably, Darwin-180B-RSI-R3 is an open-source model, and its cost-efficiency was assessed separately from API-based models. AI

IMPACT Sets a new benchmark for open-source models in reasoning tasks, potentially influencing future model development.
