Epoch AI releases Claude's specialization map: coding strengths have always been there, Opus 4.6 and 4.7 have filled in the mathematical gaps

Abstract generation in progress
AIMPACT News, May 16 (UTC+8): According to Dongcha’s Beating monitoring, Epoch AI has released the latest analysis of its Domain-specific ECI (Domain-specific Capability Index), revealing that the Claude series models under Anthropic have historically been strong in coding while weak in mathematics relative to their overall capabilities. However, the latest data shows that this imbalance is being rapidly addressed. Based on calculations, across previous generations of models, Claude’s performance on the Software Engineering Benchmark (SWE-ECI) has consistently been higher than its overall score, while a long-standing gap has persisted on the Math Benchmark (Math-ECI). The newly released Opus 4.6 and 4.7 models have narrowed the difference between math and overall scores to within 1 point, filling the prior shortcoming. The ECI measurement mechanism compares the relative performance of major models, thereby directly reflecting the average difficulty of specific tasks for AI, rather than the difficulty for humans.

The relative difficulty index is more interesting than the absolute score; it reflects the actual gap narrowing between models.

Opus 4.6/4.7—This round of strengthening weak points is very solid; the code is strong, and the math is catching up too. Only then can it truly be a genuine first-tier option in terms of versatility.

Claude finally got serious about math.

A difference within one minute, rounded to the nearest whole, means no shortcomings.

SWE and Math are both high-level, this generation's Opus can be called an all-rounder.
