From c83092fbe6684169b237b15a46f07534111d898f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ciregenz Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 06:46:05 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] arena: v17 two-seed verdict -- 85.2% pass@1 mean, 91.2% labeled pass@2, zero false claims Cross-seed spread 2.4 points: the mechanisms generalize across task content, not just RNG. The 90 goal is met only under the honestly-labeled pass@2 protocol; single-run 85.2 is the true champion number, and the residual gap is decode variance Claude-5 lanes expose no temperature control over, plus the four named engineering clusters. AssistantBench ours lands at 0.050 mean accuracy (suite SOTA ~25%); bu-real queued on the identical protocol.
