The next closest entries were gpt-6-astra (max) via codex at 58.9% resolution ($310.9, 16.5h, 98.0M tokens) and gemini-4-argon (high) via gemini-cli at 57.5% ($100.5, 34.2h, 173.9M tokens). The results indicate that even the strongest agent harnesses fail roughly four in ten cloud infrastructure tasks, with grok-4.7 (high) on cursor-cli at 56.5% and claude-opus-5-5 (high) on terminus-2 at 47.8% rounding out the published rankings.", "body_md": "# CloudOpsBench\n\nA benchmark for AI agents on real cloud operations\n\n| Model leaderboard.
