arena · x · 2026-09-13

Code Arena: WebDev marks nearly a year of progress: the top model's score rose +340 points, and frontier labs competing for #1 grew from 6 to 10. Anthropic dominated most of the year, though open-source Kimi K3 (Moonshot, July) briefly took the top spot. OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra now leads at 1796 pts, ahead of Claude Fable 5.1 (1764) and Alibaba Qwen (1685). Rankings are driven by head-to-head user preference votes on real front-end web development tasks.
