A strong leader model plans and coordinates the work, routing subtasks to lower-cost specialists for 50–90% cost savings without sacrificing performance.

BENCHMARKS<br>Coding agent efficiency

Our internal benchmark measures the cost efficiency of coding agents.

Methodology

It's built around two projects: Rain, a bespoke DSL written in Zig, and pgx, a real Postgres driver written in Go.

Tasks cover features, bug fixes, and refactors in each project, meant to reflect a diversity of real world engineering work rather than intentionally tricky puzzles.

There's 20 tasks, each run 5 times per agent for a total of 100 trials, measuring the score against total cost by token usage to determine performance per dollar.
