I do agree that the benchmarks do not tell much of the story, but this applies to the closed models as well ime.

I’m not kidding when I say bullshit bench and simple bench are the only benchmarks that reflect real world utility in a way that matches my hundreds of hours of experience with frontier models: https://petergpt.github.io/bullshit-benchmark/viewer/index.v...

That said, while I find it hard to trust fireworks given their conflict of interest, their article is pretty good.

  • That is an interesting benchmark! Though I wonder if it is probing at certain behaviors, which may be more revealing to probe at? Will keep it handy, thanks for the share!

    I felt better about Fireworks leadership after hearing some of them more candidly on podcasts (there are 7 founders!)
