Benchmark Results: Measuring the Real Cost of Code Intelligence

Same model. Same tasks. Same codebase. One tool that already knows the structure.
We've written about why structural code intelligence matters, how Code Mode makes MCP queries more efficient, and the case for a shared code intelligence layer across your team.

That changes today. Our Q2 2026 benchmark results are out, and the data is cleaner than we expected.
