Open-source coding models look benchmaxxed; dev hopes FrontierCode 2.0 stays clean
zyxciss · reddit · 2026-10-28
A Reddit user argues open-source coding models are increasingly benchmaxxed — leaderboard scores inflated while frontier labs' smaller models pull ahead on intelligence benchmarks. They hope the upcoming FrontierCode 2.0 stays uncontaminated so a high score actually means good coding, and ask why only OpenAI and Anthropic's models seem immune to the gap between leaderboard performance and real capability.
