multimodal — A model that works with more than text — reading images, audio, or video, and sometimes generating them too.
open weights — A model whose trained parameters are published for anyone to download and run — unlike API-only models you can access but never possess.
Why it matters
First-hand evidence of how a new open weightsA model whose trained parameters are published for anyone to download and run — unlike API-only models you can access but never possess.Full definition → local model actually behaves on agentic coding tasks, before anyone commits to running it.

We test it across a wide range of practical tasks including browser-based workflows, C++ coding, FPS development, 3D CAD modeling, frontend design, creative writing, multimodal coding, and simulation tests.
