VeraBench v0.0.7 benchmark results across four panels. Flagship tier: Kimi K2.5 scores 100% run_correct on Vera versus 86% Python and 91% TypeScript; Claude Opus 4 scores 88% Vera, 96% Python, 96% TypeScript; GPT-4.1 scores 91% Vera, 96% Python, 96% TypeScript. Sonnet tier: Kimi K2 Turbo scores 83% Vera, 83% Python, 79% TypeScript; Claude Sonnet 4 scores 79% Vera, 96% Python, 88% TypeScript; GPT-4o scores 78% Vera, 93% Python, 83% TypeScript. A horizontal bar chart shows Kimi K2.5 is the only flagship model where Vera beats both Python (+14pp) and TypeScript (+9pp). A fourth panel breaks out all four modes including Vera spec-from-NL, showing GPT-4.1's spec-from-NL score dropping to 50% while Kimi K2.5 holds at 100% across both Vera modes.
