Blogger PawelHuryn ran a real-world bug-hunt test on 2 code repos with 105 hidden bugs, comparing flagship models on how many they could find and fix:
- Opus 5 (max): 27 fixed, $51.33
- Grok 4.6 (max): 27 fixed, $16.96
- DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (max): 24 fixed, just $1.80
- GPT-5.6 Luna (xhigh): 23 fixed, $2.50
