rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-07-10
GPT-5.6 Sol scored between 72% and 73% on the DeepSWE coding agent benchmark, averaging about $8.40 per task. Claude/Fable-5 achieved a top score of around 70%, but with higher costs ranging from $13 to $22 per task.
The post also explains DeepSWE's methodology: it requires models to complete long software engineering tasks within real open-source repositories, going beyond simple code completion. The evaluation checks if the final patch is actually viable, testing repository navigation, bug diagnosis, code editing, tool usage, test execution, and multi-step debugging capabilities.
