Vals released Vibe Code Bench 1-100 (VCB 1-100), which starts from a fully passing web app and asks models to apply a long sequence of dependent product requests without breaking prior behavior; the first incomplete iteration ends the run. On the published leaderboard Claude Opus 5 leads at 28.53%, with Claude Fable 5.1 at 28.00% and GPT-6 Astra at 27.64%. Unlike one-shot greenfield coding benches, VCB 1-100 targets sustained multi-turn evolution typical of vibe coding and agentic software work.
