Aider Polyglot leaderboard results for Claude 3.7 Sonnet (via) Paul Gauthier's Aider Polyglot benchmark is one of my favourite independent benchmarks for LLMs, partly because it focuses on code and partly because Paul is very responsive at evaluating new models.
The brand new Claude 3.7 Sonnet just took the top place, when run with an increased 32,000 thinking token limit.
It's interesting comparing the benchmark costs - 3.7 Sonnet spent $36.83 running the whole thing, significantly more than the previously leading DeepSeek R1 + Claude 3.5 combo, but a whole lot less than third place o1-high:
| Model | % completed | Total cost |
|---|---|---|
| claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219 (32k thinking tokens) | 64.9% | $36.83 |
| DeepSeek R1 + claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022 | 64.0% | $13.29 |
| o1-2024-12-17 (high) | 61.7% | $186.5 |
| claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219 (no thinking) | 60.4% | $17.72 |
| o3-mini (high) | 60.4% | $18.16 |
