      Haha fair point, we didn&#x27;t juice anything though! You can see all the traces and videos on the website, for example, here&#x27;s one of Claude Fable&#x27;s attempts: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;drivingbench.com&#x2F;trace&#x2F;claude-fable-5.1&#x2F;3&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;drivingbench.com&#x2F;trace&#x2F;claude-fable-5.1&#x2F;3&#x2F; . The code is also open source on GitHub. Also in the Report you can see how we did everything; there&#x27;s obviously variance but if you try a similar thing yourself the results would probably be similar?

        Pretty much everybody “predicted” this fwiw.
