What we check
Most checks are the same on every model. See what we check ↗
On every call the provider sends our settings back with the answer. We check them against what we sent.
Pattern
Time to answer
Latency, time-to-first-token and reasoning-token volume are recorded on every call across all checks.
Daily exam
The scored series
The daily exam is the only check with a published score.
Other checks
Reasoning-token volume
The panel reports the median by published day across all checks.

22 July 2026: No run. Our prepaid credit with the provider had run out, so all 63 questions came back as billing errors.

What we do not claim: we never compare this model with another, and we never say a change was deliberate.
