Benchmarks
Measured on the same multi-robot task
We gave the exact same, highly complex task to three coding agents, evaluated blind, and ranked their results. Contour outperformed the rest.
| Agent | Outcome | Notes | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
 CoPilot | Failed | No working result produced. | |
 Contour (quick) | Basic outline | Functional but contained three small issues. | 2:13 |
 Claude Sonnet 4.5 | Good, but unstable | Less structured and prone to small errors; moderate reliability. | 4:12 |
| Contour (full) | Best overall | Fully completed with no bugs. Most complete, stable, and professionally designed implementation. | 4:08 |
