Why this countsIt tells you whether the model can generate, repair, and reason over code under evaluator pressure rather than marketing examples.Same-test ruleThis percentile only compares models inside the exact benchmark/version group shown here. It is not a universal score.What it missesIt does not fully capture repo-scale iteration, IDE ergonomics, or long debugging loops.
