The ability to resolve real coding issues improved by nearly six times per year since late 2024. During this time costs dropped sharply with OpenAIs budget model GPT 5 point 6 Luna matching flagship capabilities for just one to six dollars per million tokens beating older versions at a fraction of the price. Top performance is now split across specialized models as Claude Opus 5 leads in frontend coding Claude Fable 5 excels at repository level coding and GPT 5 point 6 Sol dominates terminal tasks. In a grade school math test using the Qwen 2 point 5 model basic methods solved 58 of 100 problems while advanced sampling solved up to 79. A confidence ranking tool correctly identified 47 right answers in its top 50 choices proving highly useful for sorting tasks with all research materials made fully public.
