Which LLM scores highest on Terminal-Bench 2.1?

Claude Opus 5 at 86.1%, then GPT-5.6 Sol and Kimi K3. Scores are the pass rate as published, not a composite.

What is the difference between Terminal-Bench 2.1 and Terminal-Bench Hard?

Hard is the harder subset, and scores on it run well below the 2.1 figure for the same model. 78 models here publish a Hard number against 58 publishing 2.1, so the two columns are never averaged together.

Who reports these Terminal-Bench numbers?

Artificial Analysis measures them independently, which is why they take precedence over a provider's own figure where the two disagree. Rows measured at a reasoning effort other than the default a plain API call buys are marked as such.

The Best LLMs on Terminal-Bench 2.1

Which model solves the most Terminal-Bench 2.1 tasks?

58 of the 135 buyable models publish a Terminal-Bench 2.1 pass rate. 78 also publish Terminal-Bench Hard, shown alongside.

Method: Published Terminal-Bench 2.1 pass rate, descending, exactly as reported. Nothing is weighted, blended or rescaled here: this is one suite, reported as published, with price alongside it rather than folded into it. Pricing as of July 2026. 16 rows below carry a score measured at a non-default reasoning tier and are marked as such; every affected model is named on the hub. Read the full method.
