Evaluations and results

Release 2026-09-17-134cd1815de8 · 7 evaluations · 7 metric rows. Different protocols are not a single leaderboard. Where several source tables report the same metric, the published comparisons above offer a pooled view that names what it does not hold constant.

Evidence table

Inspect claims, sources and review details

Trace each statement to its source and review. A context-only reference supports the record generally; it does not verify an individual field. Source checking does not reproduce an experiment.

One row per statement and cited source. Multiple citations are not independent evaluations. Shared locators are labelled explicitly.
