Charts

Partial coverage. Terminus-2 – Claude Sonnet 4.6 (adaptive, effort high): 36 of 147 Earth-Bench V2 tasks; GS-QA2 incomplete; Codex – DeepSeek V4 Pro (high): 8 of 147 Earth-Bench V2 tasks; 40 of 173 GeoBenchX tasks; GS-QA2 incomplete. Grey placeholders identify these entries in the index, cost and output token charts; their height does not represent a value. Comparable bars appear when first-attempt coverage is complete. Their available results remain in the side-by-side table.
