Catalogue identity notes

DecisionBench v1 comparison: jaredpalmer/kev-8b, revision c80773da7f383f93c4dbff0c0b008e0463f9145a; decision-model; adapter jev-compatible-server-v1; probability source native_probability_distribution. Kept separate from newer or unpinned Decision Index recipes; standard prompt, not compact. No unverified runtime or OpenRouter price imported. Current repository metadata checked separately; an unpinned alias is not evidence that today’s weights reproduce this historical run.

$ how the score was worked out · Hanno Labs DecisionBench v1 r… 99%

Each result implies a score on its own, after adjusting for how hard its test is and who ran it. The score is their weighted average, with a small pull toward the middle for thinly tested models. Each test's weight is its counts column above; here it's added up by who ran the tests. How it works
