Benchmark scores
Measured cost per task (DeepSWE)
| Benchmark | Pass@1 | Measured cost / task | Frontier |
|---|---|---|---|
| DeepSWE (agentic coding) (high effort, 95% CI 72.4%-75.2%, 4 runs) | 73.8% | $2.36 (median $2.11) | frontier |
Artificial Analysis scores (no matched cost)
Artificial Analysis scores below have no measured per-task cost, so no frontier claim is made for them here.
| Benchmark | Score |
|---|---|
| AA intelligence index | 58.7 |
| AA coding index | 76.3 |
| GPQA Diamond (science) | 95.3% |
| Humanity's Last Exam | 47.8% |
| LCR | 81.0% |
| SciCode (coding) | 53.6% |
| Tau2 (banking) | 44.9% |
| Terminal-Bench 2.1 (agentic) | 87.6% |
