MAI-Thinking-1 coding benchmark

How MAI-Thinking-1 performed

MAI-Thinking-1 by Microsoft took the PomBench AI coding benchmark: every model gets the same prompt and writes self-contained browser code for a twelve-second scene: a Pomeranian runs across a backyard, jumps a puddle, enters its doghouse, retrieves a bone and turns toward the viewer. The video above is an independent offline browser recording of the code MAI-Thinking-1 returned, captured at 960 × 540 and 30 fps, with no organizer edits to the code.

In this MAI-Thinking-1 coding test the model produced 11,089 output tokens, including provider-reported reasoning (rank 16 of 46 by output tokens), and the known API cost was $0.0928 (rank 25 of 45, cheapest first). Is MAI-Thinking-1 good at coding? One task cannot answer that on its own, so this LLM coding benchmark lets you watch the result instead of reading a score: check the gait, the puddle jump and reflection, the doorway occlusion and whether the bone stays in the dog's mouth.
