Coding benchmarks show agentic models are mostly tackling feature work, bug fixes and optimization

By classifying tasks across popular coding benchmarks, the post argues that agentic models are mainly climbing the hill of:
- feature implementation
- bug fixing
- algorithm implementation
- performance optimization
The chart also suggests there is still too little coverage of security, DevOps, and ML-oriented tasks, which may explain where current coding agents are weakest.
