Editorial review by Glevd · 2026-07-15
Compare v6 rows only when the date window, code-generation scenario, pass@k or average-at-k metric, sampling count, temperature, and execution policy match. A shared v6 label does not guarantee the rest of the setup is controlled.
Operator receipt: 19 sourced rows are currently displayable on this page; the leading published row is Sakana Fugu-Ultra at 93.2%.
Honest limit: Provider tables can use different v6 windows and generation settings. The route is a sourced release ledger, not a BenchLM rerun. LiveCodeBench still measures contest-style code generation rather than repository navigation, patch review, or regression safety.
