Code Migration v1.1

Claude Sonnet 5.5 86.9% leads since Oct 2026 Not in model cards

Models port a working program into another language offline and ship a Dockerfile. A hidden behavior-test suite the model never sees scores the port, after an anti-cheat check.

Same tasks as v1, but every model runs on the Pi agent harness and grading uses revised hidden test suites. Vals says scores are not directly comparable to v1. Part of Vals Index v2.2.

Number one over time

Lab claims count from the day the card came out, independent runs from the model’s release.

Anthropic
Own leaderboard Passed 85% in Oct 2026, by Claude Sonnet 5.5

The best score passed 85% in Sep 2026

All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.

No lab model card reports it yet

We read the headline results of 479 launch posts from 51 labs, and none of them list this benchmark.

Versions

We switch the top row to each new version when it comes out. Open it for one row per version. An old version stays in play while people still test it, so whoever first takes it past 85% gets credit for closing it out.
