StepCodeBench
Step 5 Preview 49% In use Models do software engineering tasks in 553 repositories, across 9 task types, 20 application domains and 33 languages. Task types include feature changes, bug repair, refactoring and environment setup.
StepFun built it in house and reports avg@4. The post does not say how answers are graded. The same table lists StepCode-Bench-Daily and StepCode-Bench-General rows with different scores.
- Level
- Expert Specialists with years of training, often over hours of work
- Scored
- Checked automatically A program checks the result against an answer key, unit tests or the expected final state.
- Answers
- Agent task Many steps in a terminal, browser, desktop, app, game or robot.
Step 5 Preview leads with 49%
Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.
| # | Model | Score | Setting | Date | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Step 5 Preview | 49% | Sep 2026 | Model card |
Scores over time
All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.
One lab put it in a launch post in the last six months
Launch posts from every lab that has listed it, one tick per post. Tall colored ticks include it, and short gray ones leave it out.
