Exposure basis
[v4/median] score 65 (raw 65 | A 65 / B 85 / C 35 | modality: other) Current LLM-based code assistants can automatically identify many bugs, generate correct patches, and run tests to verify results, handling a majority of routine debugging tasks at professional quality. (capable: LLM code assistant (e.g., OpenAI GPT‑4o, Claude 3.5, Gemini 1.5) with IDE integration)

How much of this task's output current AI can produce or substantially assist.
Best current model strength on any capability this task requires.
This is an assessment of technical feasibility plus published evidence - not a forecast. Even fully automatable tasks are often not automated, because of cost, verification, liability, regulation or the fact that the task is bundled with other work.
