    I am begging you on my knees to please stop posting this cringe.

    The model is just out. It could be good, great even, I don't know. But I do know that this index has Opus 5, one of the worst releases of 26, ahead of Astra. What information are we supposed to deduce from number having gone up?

      That it's better in specific ways? What difference does it make when it came out? The benchmark results are not going to change unless they're messing with the model.

        Yes, but crucially, in ways that are increasingly decoupled from any practical pattern of usage, considering that I wouldn't see how you can argue that Astra is worse than Opus 5.

        One man's modus ponens is another's modus tollens I guess.
