Previously, GLM, Kimi, Minimax, Mimo, Deepseek and Qwen were the Chinese models battling each other to be in the top 20. This is the first time I’m seeing Bytedance (Seed-2.1-Pro-Preview) join the leaderboard. I know they had frontier video models, haven’t actually paid attention to their coding model. Of course, everyone is benchmaxxing but GLM5.2, Kimi K2.6 (not the regressed 2.7), Minimax 3, Qwen 3.7 Max, Mimo V2.5 Pro and Deekseek V4 Pro are pretty decent models for everyday coding task. I only sell my kidney for Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT5.5 when I need to do more complicated work like refactoring code across large number of files. Looking forward to the cheap models progressing to Opus and GPT levels. GLM5.2 is already getting close. Source: https://arena.ai/leaderboard/code/webdev submitted by /u/Time-Load3847
