claude-code + claude-haiku-4-5
claude-code harness · Claude Max 20x ($200/mo)
Clears tier 1 of 5 (partial at tiers 2, 3, 4 and 5) on Real-world issues
Capability mean across 2 graded suite families.
What the tiers mean
"Clears" marks the highest rung where every task at it and below was solved. Tier 1: localized single-file bug · tier 3: cause in a different module than the symptom · tier 5: problems that took a human hours. A cleared rung solved every task on it; a partial rung solved some. The headline stops at the last unbroken rung, so a solved tier above a half-solved one counts only as partial.
What the levels mean
Level 1: a full brief naming the surface and the acceptance · level 3: the report as filed · level 5: a vague vibe report in a non-technical user's words. Context falls as the level rises, so vaguer is harder. A cleared level fixed every bug at it and below; a partial level fixed some. The headline stops at the last unbroken level, so a fix above a half-cleared level counts only as partial.
3 of this suite's tasks were credited rather than run: on a suite that asks the same problem at several levels of detail, solving it from the vaguest description credits the more detailed ones instead of asking again.
Per-suite results
7 of 15 tasks solved - grouped by tier, easiest first; hover a square for its time and turns.
Run on claude-code 2.1.226 (Claude Code), model claude-haiku-4-5 (--effort medium), week 2026-W33.
One run of this suite consumes 3.0% of Claude Max 20x's 5h window and 1.0% of the weekly limit.
As work per window: about 4870 suite runs per month on this plan - 24.35 runs per plan-dollar (at $200/mo, priced 2026-08-05). Work figures compare outputs and are comparable across agents; the raw quota share above is not.
How the plan cost was measured
Measured per suite run (reported-delta); an absolute cost on this plan, not comparable with another agent's plan. Measured in a declared quiet window on a shared subscription: operator Claude Max 20x account on eb-runner, shared with the operator IDE panes; quiet-window until a dedicated benchmark login exists.
9 of 25 tasks solved (3 credited without running) - each row is one bug, vaguest report first and context growing to the right; hover a square for its time and turns.
Run on claude-code 2.1.226 (Claude Code), model claude-haiku-4-5 (--effort medium), week 2026-W33.
One good solve on this suite consumes 0.5% of Claude Max 20x on average.
As work per window: about 29220 good solves per month on this plan - 146.10 solves per plan-dollar (at $200/mo, priced 2026-08-05). Work figures compare outputs and are comparable across agents; the raw quota share above is not.
How the plan cost was measured
Counted over each issue's first solve (4 solves); the walk's failed harder cells and confirmation runs are the benchmark's own search cost and are excluded (full walk: 7.0% over 22 cells). Measured per cell run (reported-delta); an absolute cost on this plan, not comparable with another agent's plan. Measured in a declared quiet window on a shared subscription: operator Claude Max 20x account on eb-runner, shared with the operator IDE panes; quiet-window until a dedicated benchmark login exists.
Task outputs from these runs are withheld: publishing them would reveal the private suite. Per-task scores, times and turns are in the chips above.
Trajectory
One point per grading week - a re-run within a week shows only its latest execution. Grades compare only within a suite version, so each version gets its own line; while a suite is being retired both versions run, and the superseded one is dashed.
