Meta is back in the game, albeit not at the top. Impressive stuff, nonetheless.

Weren't they caught multiple times gaming the benchmark even more so then the rest?

  • Yes and Zuck effectively disbanded the entire team that did that. Not saying we shouldn't cast a critical eye on it, but it probably does warrant a second chance.

  • Let me assure you, literally everybody does this

    • I don't think it even matters. Because noone will continue to use an LLM that doesn't work well for them, whether or not it has a good bench result. So for their own sake, the correct representation can actually win them some loyalty:

      eg. Model X is weaker than Fable, but competes well with Opus/Sonnet and costs 1/5th as much etc - something similar playing out with Grok 4.5.
