What this means
Raised 68 times and chosen none is a specific, diagnosable result, and a better starting position than being unknown. The agent has the product in mind. It reached the shortlist 68 times. Something then lost every one of those sessions.
In our data the causes, in the order they occur:
- The quickstart does not run when pasted, so the agent abandoned it mid-integration.
- The documentation describes an interface that changed, so the generated code failed.
- The product name and the package name differ, so the install step went wrong.
- The fit was genuinely wrong for the repository, which is fine and worth knowing.
All but the last are fixable in days, and the reason is written down in the session transcript.
Where these numbers come from
The 401 sessions in code sandboxes are part of a published set of 11,878, run with real coding agents inside realistic codebases and judged blind. The full method is on one page: how we measured this.
Every code sandboxes run can be replayed on the board.
If you work on Blaxel Sandboxes: the judge recorded a reason for every session where it was raised and passed over. Those reasons are in the transcripts.

Common questions
Do coding agents recommend Blaxel Sandboxes?
They raise it but do not choose it. Across 68 sessions where Blaxel Sandboxes came up as a candidate, agents chose something else every time.
Does Claude Code recommend Blaxel Sandboxes?
In 0 of the 112 sessions in code sandboxes run with Claude Code, which is 0%.
Do different coding agents treat Blaxel Sandboxes differently?
Not much. Claude Code, Codex and Cursor chose it at similar rates, between 0% and 0% of their runs.
How was this measured?
Real coding agents at pinned versions were run in sandboxes inside 91 realistic codebases and asked to solve real tasks. A simulated project owner approved or questioned each recommendation before any code was written, and a judge from a model family that builds none of the agents read every session blind.
Where this comes from
Armature ran 11,878 judged sessions with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok Build CLI and Muse Code inside 91 realistic codebases, and published every run. The numbers on this page come from that work.
