Best AI models for coding, ranked by developers

The main table covers models with at least 100 opinions. Less-discussed models are listed separately, because a high score from a few dozen people is a weaker signal.

Widely discussed models

Ranked by approval, adjusted for sample size. Model pages focus on coding use, not general chat.

Shown: models with at least 100 opinions. Approval is the positive share of opinions that took a side; rank uses the lower bound of a 90% confidence interval.

Less-discussed models

Fewer than 100 opinions each. Promising, but treat the scores as early.
