SlopCodeBench: Top Model Scores Just 16% on Long-Horizon Coding Agent Benchmark

ajratner · x · 2026-10-23

SlopCodeBench may be the most relevant coding agent benchmark yet: while Terminal-Bench, FrontierCode, and DeepSWE top out at 50-75%, its best score is 16%. Agents implement a small program from a spec, then extend it across 3-8 iterations, with hidden tests each round checking new and all prior features—simulating real long-horizon codebase work where coherence and maintainability matter. Leaderboard: GPT-6 Astra XHigh 16.33% strict (69.39% core), Opus 5.5 Medium 14.29% (73.98%), GLM 5.3 XHigh 12.24%.
