Scale Labs SEAL Coding (SEAL Coding)

We show this table for reference; we do not rank on it.

Scale’s SEAL coding board: expert reviewers compared model answers to 1,000 prompts across programming languages, debugging, optimization, and documentation tasks. BenchLM shows it as display-only reference data, excluded from rankings. Scale marked this board deprecated as of March 2025 and no longer adds models.

How to read this leaderboard

Compare the published configurations as complete evaluation systems. The source can combine a base model, agent scaffold, tools, budget, and inference setting in each result.

Operator receipt: 28 sourced rows are currently displayable on this page; the leading published row is o1-mini at 1237.

Honest limit: This Scale table is display-only context, not benchmark provenance or a weighted model-only comparison. Scale marked this board deprecated as of March 2025 and no longer adds models.

How BenchLM shows SEAL Coding

BenchLM mirrors 28 published rows from Scale Labs’ public SEAL Coding leaderboard, captured on November 12, 2026 snapshot.

The table is display only. It is useful context for a published agent or model configuration, but it does not enter BenchLM’s overall or category rankings. Scale marked this board deprecated as of March 2025 and no longer adds models.

Snapshot

28 published rowsScale Labs sourceDeprecated by Scale (March 2025)Display only

The published SEAL Coding snapshot places o1-mini first at 1237. The third row is 105 score units behind. The broader top-10 range is 158 score units, so the table still separates the published systems.

28 models have been evaluated on SEAL Coding. The benchmark falls in the Coding category. We keep external benchmark mirrors separate from the weighted global scoring system, so these results remain source-specific evidence. SEAL Coding is currently displayed for reference but excluded from the scoring formula, so it does not directly affect overall rankings.
