Rank = position among every model config we tested in that task area (lower is better). Sorted by biggest gap first.
Same task, both models — judged
Both models answered the same test case; an independent judge graded each. Quotes are the judge's actual rationale.
Chef / Home Cooking
Thai stir fry substitutions (Substitution Test)
“The model provides excellent substitutions, accurate flavour judgements, and perfectly adheres to the authenticity constraint. However, it hallucinates a random Chinese phrase ('我们发现') in the middle of the ingredient quantities, which is a malformed output failure requiring a heavy penalty on quantities and clarity.”
“The model provides an exceptionally strong, expert-level response. The culinary judgment shown in combining rehydrated dried basil with fresh mint to mimic holy basil is outstanding. The flavour tradeoffs are highly accurate, specifically noting the change in sauce viscosity and the shift in flavour profile towards Larb. All constraints were perfectly met.”
