Best AI models for agentic coding
Terminal-Bench Hard measures how well a model operates as a coding agent in a real terminal, running commands, editing files, and fixing repositories end-to-end. It is the closest proxy to how models perform inside tools like Claude Code, Cursor and Codex.

How we rank
Scores for Terminal-Bench Hard 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 600+ models. Switch between any of the models above by changing one parameter in your code.
