IOI (Vals)
Agents solve International Olympiad in Informatics problems from 2024 and 2025 in C++. A submission tool modeled on the contest grades up to 50 tries per problem by subtask.
Vals archived v1 as saturated after 2026-08-09, with Claude Opus 5 first at 91.67%. Not the same as the almanac's single-year IOI 2025 record.

Claude Opus 5 leads with 91.7% among models released by Aug 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. Every run is in the next chart.
The newest model with a score here came out in Aug 2026, and nobody has tested a newer one. Among the 20 highest-ranked models on the capability index, these have no score yet:

Scores at each effort level
Models the leaderboard ran at two or more effort levels. We don’t have enough cost data here to say what the extra effort costs.
7 models have held number one since its release in Aug 2025
Lab claims count from the day the card came out, independent runs from the model’s release.
The best score passed 85% in Jul 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.
