Gemini 3 Pro 70% leads since Nov 2025 Fading

Models write C++ or Python solutions to 232 competition problems from NOI and ICPC. Judge test cases score each solution by pass@1.

In the authors’ words

Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated significant progress in math and code reasoning capabilities. However, existing code benchmark are limited in their ability to evaluate the full spectrum of these capabilities, particularly at the competitive level. To bridge this gap, we introduce OJBench, a novel and challenging benchmark designed to assess the competitive-level code reasoning abilities of LLMs. OJBench comprises 232 programming competition problems from NOI and ICPC, providing a more rigorous test of models' reasoning skills. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation using OJBench on 37 models, including both closed-source and open-source models, reasoning-oriented and non-reasoning-oriented models. Our results indicate that even state-of-the-art reasoning-oriented models, such as o4-mini and Gemini-2.5-pro-exp, struggle with highly challenging competition-level problems. This highlights the significant challenges that models face in competitive-level code reasoning.

Gemini 3 Pro leads with 70% among models released by Feb 2026

Best score per model from the benchmark's own leaderboard, read on 2 Nov 2026. Where a model ran with several settings or harnesses, we keep its best.

The newest model with a score here came out in Feb 2026, and nobody has tested a newer one. Among the 20 highest-ranked models on the capability index, these have no score yet:

  1. 1 Gemini 3 Pro 70%
  2. 2 Claude Opus 4.6 thinking 67.2%
  3. 3 Kimi K2.5 thinking 57%
  4. 4 GLM-5 54.9%
  5. 5 Seed2.0 Pro 54.9%
  6. 6 DeepSeek-V3.2 51.7%
  7. 7 GLM-4.7 50.8%
  8. 8 MiniMax-M2.5 41.4%

Labs report scores for 12 models in their cards. We plot every source in the charts below.

Number one over time

Lab claims count from the day the card came out, independent runs from the model’s release. We draw one row each for the benchmark’s own leaderboard and what labs claim in their cards.
