CyberBench (Vals)
Agents work on OSS-Fuzz memory-safety bugs from ARVO images in two tracks. They write a proof-of-concept input that crashes the target, or patch the source so the crash stops and tests still pass.
The PoC track follows CyberGym's method. Runs used mini-SWE-agent. Not the 2024 CyberBench by Liu et al. Archived after v1.1 replaced it.

GPT-5.6 Sol leads with 88.1% among models released by September 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. Every run is in the next chart.
The newest model with a score here came out in September 2026, and nobody has tested a newer one. Among the 20 highest-ranked models on the capability index, these have no score yet:

Accuracy against latency
The Vals scatter chart with its x axis switched from Cost to Latency: mean time per test against accuracy, on a log scale. The line joins the runs that no other run beats on both measures. We redrew this chart from the numbers on the official leaderboard.

2 models have held number one on the official leaderboard since its release in June 2026
Lab claims count from the day the card came out, independent runs from the model’s release.

GPT-5.6 Sol on the official leaderboard passed 85% in July 2026
All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.

No lab model card reports it yet
We read the headline results of 522 launch posts from 52 labs, and none of them list this benchmark.
Versions
We switch the top row to each new version when it comes out. Open it for one row per version. An old version stays in play while people still test it, so whoever first takes it past 85% gets credit for closing it out.
