Head-to-head
qwen3.5:9b vs GPT-5.5 (Codex)
Both models answered the same one-shot tasks under identical rules — no retries, answers published unedited. Two separate axes, never blended: does the code actually run, and how do blind-scored text answers hold up against a written gold answer. Frontier references sit outside the blind field and are deliberately unscored on text.
| Model | Runnable sims | Blind text avg | Failure modes |
|---|---|---|---|
| qwen3.5:9b | 37% (35/95) | 9.06 (48 scored) | ERR 30 · STAT 12 · BLANK 17 · HANG 1 |
| GPT-5.5 (Codex) frontier reference | 96% (91/95) | unscored by design | ERR 2 · STAT 1 · BLANK 1 |
