The core conclusion of this post is that for React developers, GPT 5.6 Sol xhigh offers the best overall performance, whereas GPT 5.6 Terra medium is the most cost-effective.
A crucial reminder in the replies: even though React is a primary frontend framework for coding agents, passing a benchmark doesn't guarantee production-ready code. All tested models were fed real React issues, with some exhibiting error rates around 67/100 in trials.
