How the values are distributed

Across the 20 numeric entries in this window the median is 16.6 and the mean is 15.0, so the typical entry sits 14.7 above the leader. The window spans 1.88 to 27.1.

23303333
8 equal buckets between the smallest (1.88) and largest (27.1) value; numbers under bars are entry counts.

10 of 20 entries are at or above the median, and the top three hold 26% of the combined value — read it against the metric below, since a higher number is not "better" for every dataset.

Metric reference

This ranking carries the metric Terminal-Bench 4.0 time per task from the Terminal-Bench 4.0: Time per Task dataset in the tab::eval-terminal family. Units and the direction of "better" are not declared by the source dataset, so AI Battle does not invent them: values are shown exactly as published, and the ordering is the source dataset's own.

How this ranking is built

Rebuilt on from the public dataset Terminal-Bench 4.0: Time per Task (family tab::eval-terminal). The source lists 20 entries and all 20 are shown here. AI Battle requests the dataset's rows, keeps the ordering the source publishes, and computes only the statistics on this page: median, mean, spread, the #1–#2 gap, the creator breakdown and the raw-data file. Nothing on this page is generated text about the entries — the numbers come from the source.

Refresh cadence: every deploy re-pulls the dataset, so this page tracks the source's own update cycle. Corrections: see the methodology page.
