The median turn latency is 113.4 seconds per prompt, not per whole build, which derives to 17.0 min across the full nine prompt specification. That is a tenth percentile of 60.2 seconds and a ninetieth percentile of 193.1 seconds across 45 recorded executions.

How reliable is Zite?

60.0% of recorded executions met the published pass criterion with no operator intervention. 8 were partial and 10 failed outright. Every one of those rows is published on this page.

Can I export the code from Zite?

No clean self host path. The code ownership subscore is 48.0 out of 100.

Full-stack app builders / rank 16 of 20 / cycle 04

Zite benchmark

Produces attractive interfaces quickly and holds a consistent visual language across pages. It is not built for the second half of this specification: rate limiting, signed webhooks and durable jobs were all missing or hand waved, and the exported project could not boot outside the platform.

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.

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.

The reader index is a weighted mean of reader submitted axis scores using the published index weights, renormalised over the axes readers have scored. It is never blended into the lab index. How this works.

What agent performance looked like in practice

Across 45 recorded executions this product met the published pass criterion cleanly 27 times, partially 8 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.
