Our annual data snapshot: who leads the Podium Score, how wide the open-weights gap is, where prices landed, and which benchmarks decided the year.

Which AI models write the best code in 2026? We compare Claude Fable 5, Claude Mythos Preview, GPT-5.6 Sol and Kimi K3 across SWE-Bench Verified, LiveCodeBench and Terminal-Bench.

Kimi K3 scores 83.3 on the Podium Score — closer to frontier proprietary models than ever. We quantify the 2026 open-weights gap using aggregated leaderboard data.
