Step 3.5 Flash leads with 86.1% among models released by February 2026

Best score per model from the benchmark's own leaderboard, read on November 12th, 2026. Where a model ran with several settings or harnesses, we keep its best.

The newest model with a score here came out in February 2026, and nobody has tested a newer one. Among the 20 highest-ranked models on the capability index, these have no score yet:

  1. 1 Step 3.5 Flash C++; avg@8 86.1%
  2. 2 Gemini 3 Pro C++; avg@8 83.5%
  3. 3 DeepSeek-V3.2 C++; avg@8 81.6%
  4. 4 GLM-4.7 C++; avg@8 74.1%
  5. 5 Claude Opus 4.5 C++; avg@8 72.2%
  6. 6 Kimi K2 Thinking C++; avg@8 67.9%

Step 3.5 Flash on the official leaderboard passed 85% in February 2026

All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.

Labs report it only in system cards

We read the headline results of 522 launch posts from 52 labs, and none of them list this benchmark. Some system cards do, below.

One system card reports it

Besides launch posts, we read the system cards, model cards and technical reports labs publish with a release. They report far more, including safety and frontier-risk tests.

One lab claim next to the leaderboard

Each score a lab reported for its own model, beside the same model's best score on the leaderboard. Gaps mostly come from different harnesses, effort levels and task subsets. 1 of them match, which usually means one side copied the other. Every benchmark.
