## Benchmark: SWE-bench Verified

Share of real, human-validated GitHub issues resolved end to end.

- Anthropic: 96% — leaderboard, SWE-bench Verified leaderboard, 2026-08-18. https://benchlm.ai/benchmarks/sweVerified
- DeepSeek: 96.4% — leaderboard, SWE-bench Verified leaderboard, 2026-08-18. https://benchlm.ai/benchmarks/sweVerified

> Scores attach to a specific model, not to a provider — the model measured is named in each cell. Frontier results now cluster inside a single point and different leaderboards report different figures for the same model, so treat anything under ~1 point as noise rather than a ranking.
