VERIFIED

Graders checked if they knew of Rails

Then the graders checked whether they knew Rails existed.

“The Agents on Rails benchmark, published on the official Rails blog, finds frontier agents solve most atomic Rails tasks (up to 92%) while mostly hand-rolling code, with Rails API recall running from 8% to 35%, and price stops predicting score: Luna's full run cost 91 cents while Opus charged 132x the price for nineteen points.”

The receipts

  1. 1Supports the claimrubyonrails.org ↗

    Rails API recall runs from 8% (DeepSeek) to 35% (Fable). Those same two models are 1.4× apart on score and four times apart on recall: knowing Rails separates the field far more sharply than solving the tasks does.

  2. 2Supports the claimrubyonrails.org ↗

    Luna ran all 63 of its runs for 91 cents and beat two models that cost more. Sol costs 36× Luna and buys eleven points. Opus costs 132× and buys nineteen.

    Fable would lead the field at ~95%, except it went zero for three on the one task worded like a pen-test report.
