AI benchmarks and leaderboards are different things
Learn the difference between a benchmark, an evaluation run and a leaderboard, and use each to answer the right question.
LLM Stats
SWE-Lancer (IC-Diamond subset) is a benchmark of real-world freelance software engineering tasks from Upwork, ranging from $50 bug fixes to $32,000 feature implementations. It evaluates AI models on independent engineering tasks using end-to-end tests triple-verified by experienced software engineers, and includes managerial tasks where models choose between technical implementation proposals.
These are source-reported observations, not independent reruns by this site. Check the task version, evaluation protocol, unit and reporting date before comparing models. Results from different setups are not a universal ranking.
