Terminal-Bench 4.0
Agents complete 66 hard tasks in containerized terminals across software, ML, science, security, and operations. Test scripts verify each result, scored as resolution rate.
It removed 8 saturated or flawed tasks from Terminal-Bench 3.0 and set a flat 8-hour agent timeout.

Claude Opus 5.5 leads with 64.8%
Best score per model from the benchmark's own leaderboard, read on November 13th, 2026. Where a model ran with several settings or harnesses, we keep its best. Every run is in the next chart.
Claude Sonnet 5.5 leads with 70.6%, claims included
Best score per model from every source, including labs’ own numbers and claims Epoch AI collected from reports and papers. Labs pick their own settings, so a claim can beat an independent run of the same model.

Labs report scores for 28 models in their cards. Switch the scores above to rank them together.
Pareto: accuracy against time
Each point is one agent, model and effort. The board plots total run time; this plots the mean time per trial, the same frontier at a fixed trial count. The line joins the runs that no other run beats on both measures. We redrew this chart from the numbers on the official leaderboard.

4 models have held number one on the official leaderboard since its release in August 2026 5 models have held number one with claims included since its release in August 2026
Lab claims count from the day the card came out, independent runs from the model’s release. We draw one row each for the benchmark’s own leaderboard and what labs claim in their cards.

The lab's number comes out ahead in 10 of 14 pairs that differ
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.
