Best AI models for coding
The Coding Index blends multiple coding evaluations — contamination-free code generation (LiveCodeBench), research-level scientific coding (SciCode), and agentic terminal tasks (Terminal-Bench). It is a broader, harder-to-game signal than any single coding benchmark.

How we rank
Scores for Coding Index come from Artificial Analysis, an independent AI benchmarking service. When a model is available through multiple providers (e.g. Anthropic direct, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex), we show one canonical entry per model family so the ranking isn't polluted by duplicates. Benchmarks measure specific skills — always validate on your own workload before committing.
One API for every model on this list
Requesty is OpenAI-compatible and routes to 400+ models. Switch between any of the models above by changing one parameter in your code.
