How to read this leaderboard

Editorial review by Glevd · 2026-07-15

Compare these rows within the published DeepSeek table. Do not merge them with pass@1 values that use another prompt policy, release window, sampling scheme, or execution configuration.

Operator receipt: 6 sourced rows are currently displayable on this page; the leading published row is DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 at 93.5%.

Honest limit: All current rows come from one provider report and one model family. They show within-family differences under the reported setup, not a broad cross-provider coding ranking or repository-level software-engineering ability.
