the top of the coding leaderboard is a tie, not a win. claude opus 5's 97.0% on swe-bench verified sits inside the margin of error with gpt-5.6 sol's 96.2%, and one model family scores 51.9% on one harness and 69.2% on another for the same benchmark.

the leader is whoever ships the better scaffold, not the smarter weights.
