Run your own evals then if you have this much of a need to "correctly" choose. That'll make it clear.
I'll just stick to mostly Sol on low/medium/high and start experimenting with Terra tomorrow onward to see what it does noticeably better than Luna/Deepseek flash.
Any pareto frontier model, especially from the leading labs is guarnateed to be good enough for whatever your expectations are at this point. A quick few day test should be enough for anyone to make their own conclusions.
Right, having products so poorly described that a customer needs to run their own evals to choose well is exactly what is being complained about.
Or I'm going to give up and not use any. Consumers aren't perfectly rational. This isn't like toothpaste, where, despite being overwhelmed at the store, I still need to brush my teeth so ahhhhhh fuckit and just pick a toothpaste out of the 30 available. The alternative is I keep using Google search and think AI is stupid. Or just use Facebook's thing.
The frontier toothpaste is the one with bioglass 45S5. Especially if you have sensitive teeth or your teeth are prone to caries.
Nano-HAp is good, too
The irony with tooth paste is that out of those 30, probably 28 are exactly identical. If all you want is fluoride tooth paste then pick the cheapest tooth paste.
If you want to go optimize your mouth hygiene it is actually more important to use dental bristles (flossing is not as good), because most of the work is done by the mechanical cleaning action of the tooth brush and you need to reach the places where the tooth brush cant get into.
Once you have done that, the next step is alcohol-free xylitol based mouth wash. Caries bacteria have trouble digesting xylitol so this reduces the presence of them in your mouth.
Only after you have done that, are you ready for something better than fluoride. Fluoride is a remineralization agent. Your saliva also contains calcium that helps your teeth remineralize. So the next thing you need is a more potent remineralization agent. Basically your tooth paste acts as a more concentrated saliva. Because of that, it is actually better to use e.g. fluoride in the morning and a different agent in the evening.
The classic options are bioglass (novamin) or hydroxyapatite. The latter is also available as mouth wash.

No. OpenAI want my money, it's on them to communicate properly.
What would you want to see instead? Not sure about you but my needs are specific enough that I don't think OAI has evals for them, and I wouldn't want to give them that data even if they wanted to run it for me.
“ChatGPT 6.1 Max” would be simple.

How does one more-properly articulate "it depends"?
On what?
