Real examples, graded
WinOff-by-one in a slice helper 100/100
“The model perfectly matches the 'strong answer' criteria outlined in the prompt. It provides the exact expected code fix, accurately explains the root cause regarding Python's exclusive slicing bounds, and maintains the original function signature with minimal changes. (Note: While `items[len(items)-n:]` actually fails for `n > len(items)` by returning `items[-negative_num:]`, it is explicitly listed as the 'Correct fix' in the prompt's rubric, so the model is awarded full points for correctness).”
WinFix off-by-one Python bug 100/100
“The model provides a correct, minimal, and secure fix for the off-by-one error. It correctly explains the reasoning and addresses the out-of-bounds edge case without introducing unnecessary complexity.”
WinJavaScript debounce implementation 100/100
“The model provides a correct, minimal, and secure implementation of a debounce function with cancel support. It correctly handles the `this` context and arguments forwarding, and provides a clear explanation and usage example.”

This page is Spring Prompt, running
We just did this for every model. Do it for your prompt.
The rankings above come from running real tasks through real models and scoring every output. Spring Prompt is that same engine — pointed at your prompt, your test cases, and your definition of good.
- Generate test cases from your prompt — no eval set required to start.
- Compare models side by side with quality, cost and latency in one matrix.
- Optimise the winner until the scores say it's ready to ship.
