At Proximal, we believe that building our own research infrastructure is crucial to design the highest-quality training data Today, we are sharing more information about our internal post-training stack

We have added Claude Haiku 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5 to the FrontierSWE leaderboard. Both models are extremely capable despite being smaller than Anthropic's flagship models Opus and Fable - Haiku outperforms GPT-5.6 Sol, GLM-5.3 and other strong models!

Many cybersecurity evals use differential execution to test whether agents can reproduce known software vulnerabilities Without added constraints, this creates fairness issues: Our evaluation shows that CyberGym is effectively saturated on a verified task subset

What is FrontierSWE?

FrontierSWE measures how well coding agents handle ultra-long-horizon, open-ended software engineering tasks in implementation, performance engineering and ML research, with 20-hour budgets and partial-credit scoring.

Tier B

Established: 15 or more models scored, or curated RL directories rate it.

How much stands behind a tier: usage, who backs it, a confirmed line from its own site or paper, and a clear read on X. High with three of the four, medium with two, low otherwise.

21 models scored

How we got to tier B

Adoption: 21 models scored; built by Proximal. Tier B.
Not yet read on X.
In curated RL directories: 7 points, a floor of B.
Not yet confirmed by a line from its own site or paper.

A clear view on X moves a tier one step up or down; most entries don't move. How tiers work.
