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.
Coding
FastAPI endpoint validation (API and Data Code Test)
“The model fundamentally fails at using Pydantic. It changes the API contract by making 'role' a list instead of a string, uses 'conlist' bizarrely, and fails to include the necessary decorators for its custom validation methods, rendering them dead code. The requested validation rules are therefore not enforced.”
“The response is expert-level and production-ready. It perfectly implements the requested Pydantic validation, correctly handles the 409 conflict, and even identifies a syntax error (await in a sync function) in the original snippet. The explanation is concise and highly relevant.”
