Coding
Our coding test is 30 programming jobs, from small ones like reading time durations or cleaning up messy data to harder ones like a config-file parser or a double-entry ledger. We run each answer against tests the model never sees, and a job only counts if everything passes. Nex-N2.5-Mini got 8 of 30 right. The best local coders solved 29 of 30.
Reading documents
The second test hands the model things like an expense claim thread, a pay stub or an insurance statement, and asks for specific numbers and dates. Many questions need a bit of math, or noticing a correction further down the email. Nex-N2.5-Mini scored 88; the best model scored 100.
