Every AI coding harness we track, one page each: what it costs, what it runs on, what it measures. Stars are a proxy for mindshare, not quality. Token cost is measured on our fixed 10-task suite where marked; everything else is observed from the project itself.

Token figures: 10-task SWE-bench Verified subset, same LiteLLM proxy, same provider, vanilla configs — methodology. Listings are refreshed monthly. This site is run by the maintainer of one listed harness (3code); every claim is sourced and the raw benchmark data is public.
