Full-stack app builders / rank 12 of 20 / cycle 04
Dyad benchmark
Runs on your own machine against your own model key, which makes it one of the cheapest routes through the spec and gives it a code ownership score that hosted products cannot match: there is no platform to leave. The trade is variance, since throughput depends on the key you point it at, and there is no managed runtime to catch a bad deploy.
Composite index
67.49
of 100 | withheld vs. cycle 03
Delta not shown for cycle 04: the roster was re-based from one merged ranking into two class boards, so cycle 03 and cycle 04 ranks are not on the same scale. Resumes cycle 05.

Turn latency distribution
Every recorded prompt duration for Dyad, in seconds. Median wall clock time for one prompt, not for a whole build. The cyan tick on the whisker is the median.
Spread against the cohort
p10 54.4 s / median 83.8 s / p90 149.9 s
Scale is shared with every product in the cohort, so the bars are directly comparable between pages. Ratio of p90 to median is 1.79x.

Seeded at launch
The reader scores, lab notes and open ratings published here were written by this lab in August 2026 to populate the reader column before the site had readers. They are not customer submissions, they are not vendor supplied and nobody was paid for them. Anything submitted since then comes from a registered account. The lab index is measured from logged runs and is unaffected either way.

What agent performance looked like in practice
Runs on your own machine against your own model key, which makes it one of the cheapest routes through the spec and gives it a code ownership score that hosted products cannot match: there is no platform to leave. The trade is variance, since throughput depends on the key you point it at, and there is no managed runtime to catch a bad deploy.
Across 45 recorded executions this product met the published pass criterion cleanly 25 times, partially 10 times and failed 10 times. The rows above carry the reviewer note for every non clean outcome, which is the only way to tell a product that fails loudly from one that fails quietly.
