An AI model programmed nonstop for 19 days on a single MirrorCode task that cost $2,600 to run Epoch AI's new MirrorCode benchmark tests AI models on recreating complete programs without access to original code. Claude Opus 4.7 leads with a 56 percent solve rate, rebuilding a 16,000-line toolkit in 14 hours, but all models fail on the most complex tasks. One model ran nonstop for 19 days on a single task, costing $2,600. Epoch AI's new MirrorCode benchmark tests whether AI models can recreate complete programs without access to the original code. Claude Opus 4.7 leads with a 56 percent solve rate, rebuilding a 16,000-line toolkit in just 14 hours. But every model tested still fails on the most complex tasks.
