Unusual results

1 threshold-crossing signal flagged · 41 eligible benchmark families

How flags are calculated

Heuristic screen, not statistical significance: benchmark families are correlated and source uncertainty is unknown. Peer evidence needs ≥ 20 independently measured matched configurations from ≥ 10 distinct model families. A flag needs a directed population z-score of magnitude ≥ 1.5 and a gap of ≥ 1.5 from the leave-one-benchmark-family-out mean z in the same direction, over ≥ 5 other benchmark families.
