    Alibaba and other teams released Co-Design Bench: coding intelligence agents only fully solve 26.4% of real tasks.

    Researchers from Alibaba and several Asian universities used real user change requests to build the coding intelligence agent benchmark Co-Design Bench. Among the ten tested models, the best-performing GPT-6 Astra only meets about 70% of the task requirements, but only 26.4% of the tasks are completely correct.

    Why it matters: A benchmark display composed of real user requests shows that the strongest model can only fully solve about one-quarter of the tasks, and the score difference for the same model in different environments is nearly 20 percentage points.
