From the numbers
Set against the other models with at least 3 runs (top or bottom third), and its draft-score ranks within single prompts. Nothing here is averaged across prompts.
Strengths
- Nothing stands out with enough runs to say so.
Weaknesses
- 54 of 84 runs finished: 19th of 24 models with at least 3 (finish rate)
- 26m 03s (n=54): 22nd of 23 models with at least 3 (median wall time of a finished run)
- $6.65 (n=10): 14th of 14 models with at least 3 (median cost of a finished run)
- 2 runs ended as the model's own failure (DNF, class MODEL)
- Other unfinished runs, not counted against the model: 1 HARNESS, 3 INFRA, 18 TIMEOUT, 6 ERROR
