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.
Customer Support
Discount demand with no such policy (Ferrovia) (Policy Boundaries)
“The model correctly refuses to promise a discount and routes the issue to the Account Team. However, it invents a specific SLA ('1-2 business days') for the Account Team's response, which was not provided in the facts. This is a hard gate violation for inventing an SLA and making an unauthorized promise regarding a timeline.”
“The model perfectly handles the out-of-bounds request by clearly stating its lack of authority over pricing, routing the issue to the appropriate Account Team, and setting clear expectations for follow-up without making any unauthorized promises regarding the discount itself.”
RAG, Safety & Grounding
Summarize long context (Policy and Retrieval Reasoning Test)
“The model hallucinated a causal link in the fourth bullet, incorrectly stating that 'the changes' caused the support load and delayed enterprise growth, which contradicts the provided text. It also completely failed to include citations for the source documents.”
“The model perfectly followed all instructions, summarizing the provided documents into exactly four bullets without adding any external information, and accurately cited the sources.”
Coding
SQL duplicate detection (API and Data Code Test)
“The model uses a convoluted anti-pattern (grouping, joining back, and grouping again) instead of a single GROUP BY with `array_agg`. This ruins minimality and introduces a bug where duplicates with NULL values in any grouping column are silently dropped due to the strict `=` join condition.”
“The model provided a perfect, production-ready PostgreSQL query that handles edge cases (NULL status) elegantly, follows all constraints, and explains the reasoning concisely.”
