Opaque benchmark scores are useless for your model procurement decisions
◆ 75RelevanceOn a story from The New Stack1mo ago
When a model jumps from 7% to 98% via undisclosed settings, the metric loses its utility for technical roadmapping. You must prioritize building internal evals that mirror your specific product's complexity over chasing lab-reported AGI scores.

- Opaque reasoning means these benchmark gains may not translate to real-world reliability.
- Prioritize domain-specific internal evals over vendor-reported AGI benchmark scores.
