CoBench

Diagnose historical internal R&D failures from infrastructure snapshots.

What this measure tells us

Measures a component of research engineering.

  • Environment changed between versions; scores are not comparable across versions.
  • Private historical infrastructure and model-graded root-cause rubrics limit external replication.

Results by version

2.1

2026-09-22 · 500 tasks

One attempt per problem; environment drift within the reported comparison.

CoBench · Reported score

limited comparison

Source reports no statistically distinguishable difference (paired p≈0.2). Environment changes prevent attributing the point difference solely to the model.

Reference points

estimated necessary capability

85 · percent

Anthropic expects a research-staff substitute to score at least 85% on the prior version and estimates carryover to 2.1.

What this reference means: estimated necessary condition · Where it applies: hypothesized

Estimated carryover only. Reaching 85% would not establish researcher substitution.
