Benchmarks

DeepSWE is the primary coding benchmark where an exact model evaluation exists. Other sourced evaluations appear below; missing scores are not zero.

DeepSWE 1.1

Primary coding-agent benchmark · 113 tasks · Data generated 2026-09-22

Official leaderboard

68.5%

pass@1 · highest published configuration

mini-swe-agent · max reasoning

pass@4: 89.4%
Average cost / attempt: $4.65
Benchmark runs: 4

pass@1 is the success rate across scored attempts; pass@4 is the share of tasks solved in at least one of four attempts. Costs are reported by DeepSWE for each configuration. These results are not directly comparable to evaluations using different harnesses. Official source JSON.
