Autoresearch coding leaderboard: best open model leads but underwhelms, muse open far below promised 1.2

JoshPurtell · x · 2026-11-07

JoshPurtell shared details of his autoresearch coding leaderboard: comprehensive OSS coverage, with OpenAI models (run via codex subscription) as the closed reference, plus muse spark 1.2 included to show how much worse muse open is — 'way, way, way worse' than the promised 1.2 quality. His verdict: the best open model leads but is 'nothing to write home about'; the thread also touches on why Opus 5.5 wasn't run (codex harness constraints).
