We introduce ViBench 2.0, a benchmark for long-horizon software building that we use to select our platform's models. It comes from a paper posted to arXiv on 5 November 2026. On Replit, our agentic engineering platform, users now build entire products without writing code, through successive feature requests to an agent. Yet existing coding benchmarks evaluate single, fully specified tasks, and many are near saturation. Its 17 full-stack web products, modeled on widely used software, grow over 241 feature requests and are judged only when finished, as a user would judge them: a browser agent runs 544 test plans, and a build passes only if every plan does, under a grading protocol validated to keep this strict score reliable. Evaluating nine models, we find a reliability gap: the three strongest pass up to 98% of test plans yet deliver a fully working product in at most 65% of builds, and no open-weight model delivers one. The gap is closing fast: across three releases of one model family, pass@1 on the public products rises from 3% to 53% while the cost per build falls by more than half. We release eight products with the harness and grader, hold out nine, and report lessons from production use.
