Head-to-head
qwen3-coder:30b 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-coder:30b | 25% (21/85) | 9.34 (38 scored) | ERR 36 · STAT 9 · BLANK 18 · HANG 1 |
| GPT-5.5 (Codex) frontier reference | 95% (81/85) | unscored by design | ERR 2 · STAT 1 · BLANK 1 |
