Definition and comparison boundarylimited methodology
Can the model complete substantial programming work under this benchmark's agent setup?
Software implementation, debugging, or repository work under the published evaluation protocol. Higher is better. The value is the percentage reported in this lab's table.
Harness, tools, prompts, attempt count, and benchmark version can materially change the result. Compare within one reporting context.
Claude Code on NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs; score is the average of nine questions relative to theoretical peak.
