SciCode-Verified: How Benchmark Defects Underestimated LLM Scientific-Coding
It is a component of the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and a standing evaluation in government and national-laboratory suites. Yet its scores have recently plateaued: the strongest 2026 models cluster tightly around 60\% subproblem accuracy, and a successor model ties its predecessor. We trace this stagnation to defects in the benchmark itself.
