DeepSeek Harness vs. Mirror

The Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index is a composite score built from FrontierCode v1.1, Terminal-Bench 4.0 und SWE-Atlas-QnA-AA.

It is useful for quick comparison, but it should be read alongside the per-eval breakdowns. Two agents with similar index values can still have different strengths across repository tasks, terminal workflows, and rubric-based evaluations.

This chart shows the average pay-per-token API cost per task across the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index, spanning FrontierCode v1.1, Terminal-Bench 4.0 und SWE-Atlas-QnA-AA.

Where applicable, that cost model includes standard input pricing, discounted cached-input pricing, separate cache-write charges, and output pricing rather than treating all prompt tokens as if they were billed at the same uncached input rate.

It is intended to show pay-per-token API cost, not consumer plan pricing or the full operational cost of deploying the system in production. Infrastructure, engineering, and supervision costs are not the focus of this metric.

This chart uses agent wall time: how long the agent process was actively running on each task.

It does not include environment startup, verifier or judge time, or other harness overhead, so it is a cleaner comparison of how long the agent itself was working.
