AI coding agents pass tests. Can they write idiomatic Laravel?
When we started building Boost Benchmarks, we had one simple question: can an AI coding agent actually write correct Laravel code? Not syntax poetry, not beautiful code, just a real Laravel app doing the right thing, with real Pest tests to keep everyone honest. When we published our last blog post on which AI model is best for Laravel, the leading models cleared 16 of our 17 evals with 99.4% test accuracy using Boost.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
When we started building Boost Benchmarks, we had one simple question: can an AI coding agent actually write correct Laravel code? Not syntax poetry, not beautiful code, just a real Laravel app doing the right thing, with real Pest tests to keep everyone honest. For a while, the answer was up in the air. When we published our last blog post on which AI model is best for Laravel, the leading models cleared 16 of our 17 evals with 99.4% test accuracy using Boost. That was impressive, but the hardest tasks still caught them out. Well, the number moved. With Laravel Boost supplying the framework context, today's frontier models GPT-5.6, Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, Gemini 3.x, and the rest now stroll through those same 17 tasks at or near 100%. The tests pass. The app works.
