Claude Opus 5 (at Max effort) has reached the #1 position on the Fullstack Code Arena leaderboard with 1,699 points, significantly outperforming competitors like Kimi K3 Max.

The arena evaluates AI models on full-stack web development tasks within a complete tool-using environment. Instead of answering isolated coding questions, models must use multi-step planning to build working web apps. This involves creating and editing files, running commands, using databases, configuring authentication, and calling external APIs to deliver a live application. This approach closely mirrors the actual workflow of coding agents.
