What this score means

On SWE-bench Verified, Arctic 1.5B sits at #591 of 600. The leader, GPT-5.2 Pro, scores 81.7, so the gap to the top is 55.4 points. The median model in this index scores 61.0, which puts Arctic 1.5B below the midpoint.

Snowflake models average 46.3 on this benchmark. Arctic 1.5B is 20.0 points below that provider line, so it is a weaker result than the average Snowflake model.

Among small open-weight models, the average is 39.0. Arctic 1.5B is 12.7 points below that group. This is the more useful comparison if you are shortlisting within the same tier rather than across the whole index.

Read a 26.3 as a relative signal, not an absolute guarantee. Benchmark scores depend on prompt format, evaluation harness and contamination controls. Use this page to narrow the shortlist, then test the model on your own data.
