How this is ranked

AI models ranked by IFBench — how reliably a model obeys explicit, verifiable constraints in the prompt (format, length, inclusion and exclusion rules). High scores mean fewer retries and less prompt-wrangling in production, which often matters more than raw intelligence for pipelines.
