Haiku 5.5 leads on quality in 2 of 4 pairings; the rest show no clear difference. 4 pairings; 24 merged changes in Stet-AI/stet. Compare the individual calls below to choose which setup to investigate.
What this comparison is
- 1 real repositoryStet-AI/stet, private; not public benchmark scores
- 24 merged changeseach run end to end by the coding agent from the repo as it was before the change
- Graded against the merged changeby the repo’s own tests and by judges comparing each patch with it
- Quality, cost and timea smaller sample than public benchmarks, but real agent work on a real codebase

Recorded setup pairings
Each row is a separate recorded comparison. Scores are not pooled or averaged across effort settings. W/D/L means wins, draws and losses; undecided judgments remain undecided.
Stet score: A setup’s average chance of beating another setup on a task, from 0 to 100; 50 is even with the field.

Questions about these results
- Which is better for coding, GPT 6 Luna or Haiku 5.5?
- Haiku 5.5 leads on quality in 2 of 4 pairings; the rest show no clear difference. 4 pairings; 24 merged changes in Stet-AI/stet. Compare the individual calls below to choose which setup to investigate.
- Where do these coding results come from?
- Both coding agents worked the same 24 merged changes from the private Stet-AI/stet repository, each in the real repo as it was before the change. The repo’s tests and judges graded every patch against the merged change; no public benchmark scores are used.
- Are reasoning settings combined into one model score?
- No. Each effort pairing keeps its own recorded quality call, head-to-head record, cost and agent time. Incompatible scores are never averaged.
